10 Greatest Superhero Video Games Of All Time
What's better than playing as Spider-Man? Playing as Spider-Man AND Venom.
Everybody likes superheroes, and while there's lots of fun to be had when reading about them in comic books and watching them on the big screen, sometimes the best way to experience their powers if by controlling them yourself.
To that end, from Superman to Deadpool, almost every mainstream hero has had their turn in the world of video gaming, but only the best of the best will be worthy of this list.
And while, yes, there have been some really terrible superhero games (we're all looking at you, Superman 64) - games so bad that they quite honestly made us ashamed to even be fans of the superhero genre - I won't be dwelling on the negatives today.
Instead, I'm going to take a look through the ten greatest superhero games of all time, regardless of console, release period or even sales.
Let me know your own favourites in the comments below!
10. Batman: The Video Game
Become familiar with the name Batman, because we're going to see him a few times on this list.
Batman: The Video Game on the NES was loosely (by loosely, I mean, almost not at all) based upon the 1989 film of the same name.
Narrative, however, is not the focal point of this game, simply being Batman is. Considered by many to the first superhero game where you actually felt like you were the superhero you were controlling, Batman: TVG was ground-breaking for its time. With a wide array gadgets at your disposal and a slick wall jump to keep enemies guessing, everything about this game screamed, "I'm Batman".
Still enjoyable today, Batman on the NES is undoubtedly one of the best superhero games of all time.
