With Tribute Games’ side-scrolling beat 'em up Marvel Cosmic Invasion releasing, we thought it would be the perfect time to look back on the history of Marvel video games and select the most standout entries featuring our favorite Marvel superheroes. This list features games based on any Marvel license, from solo vigilantes to teams of Earth’s mightiest heroes.
First, some ground rules: we’ve picked just one game per subseries, so don’t expect to see all three Insomniac Spider-Man games on here, for example. All entries are primarily based on a Marvel IP. The game can’t be 100% unplayable, and overall quality, historical relevance, and how successful it is at fulfilling the superhero fantasy of feeling like you’re within the Marvel Universe are all taken into account.
With that covered, let’s dive into IGN’s Top 10 Marvel Video Games.
