A quick run-down of Marvel's game announcements at this years New York Comic Con.
By Moshe Sweet: Did you wake up today and tell yourself “man, I sure am in the mood for another top 5 licensed video game list”? Then you are in luck because I have a fresh list coming straight for your eyeballs. If not, then you got one anyway.

Mrs Nesbitt from BBG writes: "The superhero genre is massive in the movie industry with MCU dominating the scene with several Avengers movies and other subsequent titles. So, what about video games? Similar to the game to movie transition, movies have not always transitioned very well. (Dare I mention Charlie’s Angels for GameCube?) Luckily for us, we have had some spectacular superhero games, and equally, some downright “what were they thinking” titles."
PS1 Spider-Man Wins it for me because Stan Lee narrated it all, his opening speech alone gets you pumped, also Worst: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows...ew
Probably in the minority but I really enjoyed Batman Begins before the Arkham series came along.
Deadpool was trash though, it's surprising to me that Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker isn't on the list but then again that's probably a good thing.
Ah yes and Spider-Man (2000) man that game was my childhood but the sequel Enter Electro was so underwhelming.
I've never been a comic fan but X-Men destiny looks decent.
I hope they take an Arkham Asylum approach and actually give the game a mature feel.
