I have an interesting story with this short lived Spider-Man series. My parents took me to a game store. I ended up going home with both of them for Sega Genesis. The first one, Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage was way better. You start out as Spider-Man. But a few levels in you now get the option to play as Venom. Personally I was more of a Venom player in this. It's based on the comic book story of the same name. The duo wants to stop Carnage. Still one of Carnage's best video game appearances to date. You also pick up icons that's other heroes that helps you out to a degree. This is a difficult licensed beat em up that's a lot of fun to play. The soundtrack with the sound effects amazing stuff. Forget the SNES version was published by LJN. This was among the best 90s Spider-Man games. This easily rivals the likes of the SNES Batman Returns game to a degree. I have a lot of memories playing this as a kid. I would love this Spider-Man game gets onto GOG in the near future.
God of War: AscensionGod of War: Ascension, the seventh instalment in the God of War series, acts as a prequel to the preceding games. The narrative revolves around Kratos, the protagonist from earlier instalments, who was once a loyal servant of the God of War, Ares. Tricked by Ares into unknowingly murdering his own family, Kratos breaks the blood oath binding him to Ares and abandons his former master. Subsequently, Kratos finds himself imprisoned and must navigate a path to freedom, severing the bond between him and Ares.
The game retains the familiar hack-and-slash combat system of its predecessors, featuring Kratos wielding the Blades of Chaos. However, a new addition, the World Weapon system, allows Kratos to wield various weapons. Additionally, Kratos can now acquire up to four magical disciplines—Fires of Ares, Ice of Poseidon, Lightning of Zeus, and Soul of Hades—each bestowing unique abilities and imbuing his weapon with magic. For instance, the Ice of Poseidon enables underwater breathing. Rage, a recurring feature, undergoes modifications; it accumulates through attacks, and when the bar is full, it automatically unleashes until the player ceases attacking or sustains damage. Three new relics provide Kratos with the ability to manipulate time, create a "shadow" self, and dispel illusions crafted by his guardians.
Notably, God of War: Ascension introduces online multiplayer to the series. Players, before engaging in multiplayer battles, align with one of four gods—Ares, Hades, Zeus, or Poseidon—each offering a distinct set of abilities. As players accumulate experience and level up their warriors, they unlock magical abilities, armour, weapons, relics, and other treasures. The game features four distinct multiplayer modes: Team Favor of the Gods, Match of Champions, Trial of the Gods, and Capture the FlagAction Fantasy Historical
