Poor Spider-Man. When he’s on an upswing, like after a great game like Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin, someone has to come along and cut his webbing with a stinker like Separation Anxiety. The ups and downs of the web slinger’s video career even make Batman shake his head in disbelief, but thankfully ol’ web head keeps on fighting.

Spider-Man X-Men: Arcade’s Revenge
I love super heroes. As cool as they are, they’re even better when they team up, and any fan worth his/her salt was most likely salivating when Spider-Man/X-Men in Arcade’s Revenge. The prospect of the web slinger teaming up with Marvel’s marvelous mutants for a video game romp seems to be the stuff of dreams. The Genesis had to wait a bit longer for it though, as it came out first on the SNES. How did the Sega version fare?
Blaster Master 2
The original Blaster Master was something of a NES favorite, and Genesis fans were understandably jubilant when the sequel was announced for their beloved console. Imagining Jason roaming with SOPHIA through beautiful 16-bit backdrops and fighting majestic bosses seemed like a dream come true. Much to everyone’s dismay, the game failed to live up to its predecessor, and while not a bad game per se, it’s definitely lacking. We’ve put Blaster Master 2 through its paces to see just how it stands next to Sunsoft’s classic, so read our full review to see if it’s worth your time.
Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage
A lot has been done to ol’ Spidey these last few years. He’s been cloned, had two hit movies, and had a great run on recent consoles. He was pretty big on the Genesis too, with a string of releases that varied in quality. Among them was Spider-Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage, a beat-’em-up that was based on a major storyline of the time.
Tick
His time at the top was all too brief, and many fans are still lamenting the Tick’s disappearance from the comic limelight. Hey, if the Ninja Turtles can make a comeback, why not him? During the height of his popularity, the Tick even had his own game, which seemed to signal the start of the character’s fall.
