The problem with the person that wrote this article is the same problem with most people who review also movies, they have no clue. a game written for an 8 bit system has to be reviewed on an 8bit system or 16 bit or 64 bit, etc. It would be like me playing my atari on a 65" 1080p high definition tv or playing my xbox 360 on a black and white tv. Its like compare a burger king or mcdonald's hamburger to a red robin or jack in the box or fuddrucker's hamburger. Sure they are all hamburgers but come on they are not equal. I wish I could get these hacks jobs.

superman 64 was so bad i felt like i wasted 3 bucks renting it and i remember that spawn game for psone being awful as well. you guys have to give tmnt a break though it was pretty early on nes and if you compare it to games that were out at that time it wasnt that bad. marvel nemesis was like the same level over and over again. great list

This article mentions a couple of X-Men games that were a good play for the Sega Genesis. Does anyone remember what they were called? i remember playing one (you start out with your character assuming it's a holographic exercise or something) which, at a certain point in the game, you had to press the reset button to get past a certain point. A frustrating fact that I did not know at the time. I really want to go back and beat that stupid game. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

I just love how there "reviewers/writers" review games compairing something done 20 years ago to something fresh off the Gamestop shelfs... Of course 8/16/32/64 bit graphics are going to look horrible compared to todays games, that is a no brainer, which I think is what these writers are... I mean come on, do these guys cut/paste much? Not 1 but 2 games that are obvious cut and paste jobs? What's the matter, can't write for yourselves? Here is something I find VERY funny, just yesterday I read their "Horrible Batman Games" article but never once was mentioned the Batman: Dark Tomorrow which on here is being called "easily the worst of the Dark K***ht's video games."! How the hell can you call this game that in one article but not even mention it in an article ABOUT horrible Batman games?!?! Yet another article that show just how far up the rear of microsoft and nintendo these guys are, I wonder just how many times they can put "this game sucked on the Sony/Sega system but was totally awesome on the nintendo/xbox"... Only reason I continue to read these articles they put out is to sit and LAUGH at how much fanboyism is put into writing these articles... I do agree, too many great comic book heroes and heroines have been put into piss poor games and it really is a crying shame. But that goes back to the greed of the company making the game and trying to cash in on what ever moneys they think they can get by slapping what ever title on the cover and putting which ever popular character in the game. It's all just sad, very very sad... And one last game, why is it anytime a game is "bad" someone has to bring up "this game is sooo repetitive" or what every variation you want to use, get a clue, LIFE is repetitive, you can't get away from it and you can't use it as an excuse. If you want to use it as a reason you don't like a game and returned it to where you bought it you might as well just go and commit suicide cause life is far more repetitive then any game. I just love how they call a bad game "repetitive" no matter the genre but a good game of the same genre you don't hear a single thing about it being repetitive, a great example are fighting games. How many "bad" games have been labled "repetitive" while games like MK and SF are just "awesome" and never viewed as repetitive even though they clearly are...
