general discussion: next gen video games based on comics

[riddler]

***omitting any video game involving Batman due to already being discussed elsewhere in this forum

the only DC game to be launched on the third generation consoles without Batman was the Green Lantern. Decent enough time waster,  wasn't overly difficult but could have been better given the possibilities.
Superman hasn't been touched in a solo game since the superman returns game (which wasn't half bad but had a weak ending).

Now Marvel has been more willing. Xmen have had some decent games.
The fantastic four had a forgettable game in 2007
Both Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have received high praise.
Spider-man games have been decent enough churning out one game per year from 2007-2012 (spider-man 3, friend or foe, web of shadows, shattered dimensions, edge of time, amazing spiderman)
this years deadpool game was pretty good, mostly a shooter game with hand to hand combat

on the minus side with marvel comes the avengers attempts;
hulk and captain america were decent (if you like the arkham games, give captain america a try, it's fighting is comparable). But both iron man games and thor have been brutally developed. Seems Marvel has foregone tie in games for the time being; avengers and iron man 3 went without games and thor 2 will as well.
