    The upcoming iteration of the FPS could become a good game, and maybe they really have learned from their last failures.

    I am still not sure if I should buy it and then, for what platform. MW4 will be the first CoD game that will appear on the
    #nintendo #switch2. The last CoD was Ghost on the Wii.

    Yet there is no Switch2-Gameplay in a video ...

  3. While I was at the Southern-Fried Gaming Expo, I got to meet Dan Kitchen showing off his 2024 game Casey's Gold for the . His first 2600 game is Crackpots published by in 1983.

    I had fun playing the Audacity games at the Expo. Dan was generous with his time, not only conversing with people, but also demonstrating important parts of the games to me. I had a great time meeting him, and he was clearly having fun, too.

  4. Spider-Man 3 with Harry Steele (Games On Film)

    Let’s talk about Spider-Man 3, the movie where Sam Raimi looked at “menacing single antagonist” and said no thank you, I would like three, please, and also I would like Peter Parker to dance down the street like he’s auditioning for a jazz-hands cult. It’s a movie that tried to do everything, mostly succeeded at doing too much, and somehow still made enough money that Activision looked at it and thought: yes, this deserves not one video game, but two, spread across seven different consoles, so that literally nobody in 2007 could escape it. Ambitious! Chaotic! Extremely on brand for the source material!

    See, there’s the fancy version, built by Treyarch for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, where you get a whole open Manhattan to swing around in and the black suit shows up only when the story deems you emotionally ready for it, very mature, very earned. And then there’s the completely different budget cousin, built by Vicarious Visions for PS2, Wii, PSP, GBA, and DS, where you can slap the black suit on whenever you feel like being a jerk, the Wii Remote gets to pretend it’s a web-shooter, and the DS throws the D-pad in the trash entirely so you can beat up Sandman by poking a touchscreen like it owes you money. Same cover art. Same villains. Practically strangers.

    Swinging in to help me sort out how many wildly different versions of one questionable movie a single franchise can generate is Harry Steele, co-host of Games on Film, the podcast where he and his brother Rory spend their days grading movies based on video games! Which means Harry has built an entire professional skillset around asking “did Hollywood mess this up,” and today, for one glorious episode, we get to point that same energy directly back at a video game and ask if it managed to mess up the movie right back. Poetic justice! Content symmetry! Whatever you want to call it, it’s happening!

    So grab whichever suit you’re feeling today, pick a console, any console, apparently they all made their own decisions, and let’s find out if the Spider-Man 3 games handled three villains and seven platforms with any more finesse than the movie handled three villains and one dance number.

    Learn such things as:

    • How similar do games have to be in order to have the same title?
    • Do movie tie in games really need to care about what happened in the movie?
    • Isn’t Spidey supposed to have friends?
    • And so much more!

    You can find Harry on BlueSky @onlymanwhocan and of course his podcast Games on Film.
