Continuing and closing (at least momentarily) the reviews of video games based on comic book characters, I wanted this "last" review to be of one of my favorite superheroes, the hero who is at the top of my list of favorite superheroes and that hero is Batman. Since his animated series in the 90's, this has been one of my favorite characters without any doubt and is a character that has had an infinite number of video games over the years, not for nothing is he one of the most popular comic book characters in history. Therefore, Batman has had so many video games, animated series, Live Action series that tell his origin, animated movies and of course Live Action movies. Being focused this review this time on one of the best movies of the bat hero, a Batman movie that knew how to represent all the dark and gloomy aspect that characterizes Batman, his villains and of course Gotham, which is a city that could be said to be part of the cast of characters of this story to be so iconic visually. So, the Batman Returns movie couldn't be the best example of this.

Carmencita is a little dog that went from being a "community dog" to being adopted by me. It was not in my plans to adopt her, since a few months ago I had adopted one of her puppies that Carmencita had in October last year, but due to life circumstances, at the end mother and daughter are living with me.

Continuing with the reviews dedicated to games based on comics or superheroes from Marvel, DC Comics or any other publisher that has made video games about some of their characters, such as Spawn, for example, this time I bring a fairly classic video game and the most classic Marvel characters: X-Men, in an action and platform game for the Mega Drive quite entertaining, in which we can control: Wolverine, Gambit, Nightcrawler or Cyclops. This is a game that I remember playing a bit when I was a kid, but I don't remember completing it and it probably happened that way, because while I was playing there were levels that I didn't remember at all, while other levels further in the story I did have some memories of them, so I have some confusion as to whether I got to complete this game or not. But anyway, regardless of whether I did or not, I have played this game again and it is quite entertaining, while it is not the best of the X-Men, it is a game that fulfills its purpose quite well.

Carnage is perhaps one of the most violent and bloody villains that Spiderman has had to face and has recently had its adaptation to the big screen, but as has happened in ALL the universe of films based on Spiderman characters that SONY has tried to create was a resounding failure, perhaps the interpretation of the actor and the character design itself have been good or decent, but the final product of that film was quite regular, so it may be very difficult to see a more faithful or better adaptation of this character as particular as Carnage. That's why to give Carnage some justification I decided to play a game in which he is the main villain. A game of the beat'em up genre quite interesting, very conventional in several aspects, but being able to control Spiderman or Venom is totally worth playing.

Continuing with video games based on comic book characters, this time I wanted to move away a little from Marvel or DC Comics heroes and I went for a character that more than a superhero is considered an anti-hero and that is Spawn, which has a spectacular design and has with it, in addition to several games, a movie that has aged really badly over the years. With this character something quite curious happened to me in my childhood and that is that I met Spawn for the first time in the SNES video game, this being one of the first games I played in emulator and when I played it again after so many years, seeing that epic and iconic introduction of Spawn standing on a statue on top of a building and spreading his cape, it is really spectacular and visually stunning despite the Super Nintendo graphics and that little introduction is worth it. Spawn could not have another video game that was not one of the beat'em up genre, so after many years I returned to play this title and I was quite entertained.

After having played and reviewed this week a game based on Marvel's most emblematic characters, I have felt like playing other games from this comic book publisher, even games from the rival company DC Comics since over the years, especially in the Mega Drive and SNES era, there have been some very interesting games (and some very bad ones) based on the most famous superheroes of the comic book industry. But this time, instead of focusing on a superhero game, I thought of doing a review of a game based on one of the most ferocious, deadly and violent anti-heroes of Marvel: The Punisher, even more considering that this character is coming back in the new Daredevil series, so doing a review of a game about this character is more than perfect. The Punisher is a violent character, he can use anything as a weapon to eliminate or neutralize whoever is going to face him, so the favorite genre of video games for a character of this style is nothing more or less than a beat'em up, which was initially developed for arcade and later was made a version for Mega Drive.
