Late Night Creative Thoughts

 Marvel is everywhere, from shows on streaming, to an ever expanding cinematic universe, and plenty of merchandise to match them all. Video games have been no different from some being amazing like Insomniac Studios take on Spider-Man and Miles Morales, to games we would like to forget like Fantastic Four on the PlayStation One. But recently a game tied to this comic book brand has captivated me, and many of my friends in a way I never expected, with cards, fun art, and fantastic gameplay. The game I am talking about is on mobile as well as steam and that is, Marvel Snap. Marvel Snap is a season based competitive card game tied to the comics with winks and nods to other iterations through the art variations on the card. Your goal is to get more points than your opponent in three zones. Each zone has a gimmick tied to it whether it be copying cards elsewhere, not allowing certain abilities, or destroying cards.

The new cartoon platformer is here, SpongeBob SquarePants The Cosmic Shake has released, and even though I am not getting it right as the game release I do plan to give it a whirl in the near future, I decided to take a step back to the remake that got this ball rolling and lead to this game. The beloved 3D platformer collectathon from the PS2, GameCube, and Original Xbox era, one hailed as one of the best licensed games ever. The remake of Battle For Bikini Bottom that when it came out divided some audiences, but after some good quality time with the game I found myself, enjoying it... mostly.

The later levels were ones that I would not like or get tired of therefore I would not finish the game. Ironically enough that carries over to this game as well as I loved...
