After what might have been the worst four months of my life - the fruits of my labour are finally out there.

The X Men Retrospective is LIVE over on YouTube

It really is quite a crazy video and I'm not sure it would have turned out like this had I not spent so long recovering from various surgeries - but this is what tumbled out of my brain so it's what I'm putting out there!

It of course touches on virtually every corner of the franchise from movies to cartoons to comics - but really this video is about the history of the licensed game itself. Why did companies start using their IP like this and how has the practise grown as the industry changed?

I think it's likely my most information dense video yet so hopefully it holds up to a few re-watches and turns people onto some of the hidden gems this series has been hiding away.

I hope you all enjoy it and it lives up to the long wait!

Much love,

Matt

X Men Video Game Retrospective | A Complete History and Review

The channel swings into action thanks to the Patrons! - https://patreon.com/IFinishedAVideoGame TWITTER - https://twitter.com/IFinishedAGame DISCORD - https://discord.gg/sDZ3xyV3 ----- How can a superhero franchise that has had so much success in the world of cinema and comics - struggle so hard when it steps into video game form? Why have the exploits of Wolverine, Deadpool, Cyclops, Magneto and Storm been absent from our screens for over eleven years? These are the questions we're going to answer today as we journey through the history of the X-Men in video game form - the most chaotic family of licensed adaptations ever produced It'll take us from cult classics to genre masterpieces to licensed abominations - it'll leap between Street Fighter, Spiderman, Call of Duty, Hulk Hogan and the Avengers - it'll take us across seven decades, nine console generations and well over forty games. It's part critique, part retrospective, part review and part history lesson - obviously full of spoilers and obviously full of my opinions. ----- Credit for the incredible thumbnail goes to the immensely talented - @MicahTheBrave All media in this video is used for the purpose of review, commentary or criticism and is defined as fair use under US Copyright law.

20 mins in and I had to come over here to spread some love. You did TREMENDOUSLY well, i’m loving all of the discussion and information so much. The perfect amount of cultural and business context to appreciate your dive into the games, you’re just such a rockstar. Thank you so much for sharing another brilliant video with all of us ❤️

That's really awesome to hear. I kinda went a bit mad with the industry/developer context in this one but I just kept finding interesting little tidbits. Hopefully people enjoy it!

This has been amazing mate! Love that a slightly odd Deadpool game takes the edge off playing so many of the games, take it easy and bask in the glory so many people are now stuck with the cartoon theme rolling around in their heads :)

I was really happy to discover Deadpool was more of an animated movie split up by gameplay - it was a perfectly tonic to all the nonsense that came before it! Hope you enjoyed the watch!
