Top 10 Marvel Games
10. Spider-Man: The Movie: The Game (PC)
This movie mostly averts the problem with licensed games--that is, that they're not very good. It's interesting, as it's based on the movie but contains characters from the comics. Anyway, it's good enough to make me sorry that my CD of it is broken.
9. Spider-Man: Friend or Foe (Wii)
An interesting co-op game where Spider-Man goes on a large quest to defeat the Phantoms and Mysterio. While the levels were a bit long and tedious, its beat-em-up mechanics and combos were just good enough to get it by.
8. Lego Marvel Superheroes
A fine Lego game with a decent story, interesting mechanics, and fun characters. Also, trolling around New York is pretty fun. Anyway, not Marvel's greatest game, but a fun one.
7. Marvel: Avengers Alliance (FB)
Possibly the best Facebook game to ever come about, this turn-based tactics game is full of great matchups, dialogue, and story. It's good enough to be mentioned here, and it's a Facebook game. That should give you a good idea of how good it is. Granted, it turns into a cash grab later, but the early parts are very fun.
6. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
This game, while lacking in graphics and certain level curve issues, paved the way for an excellent sequel. Along with an excellent storyline, this game has a great multiplayer function. It would be surpassed by its sequel in every way except plot, but it was a great game, no mistake.
5. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Ah, another great Spider-Man game. Boasting four different modes of play and a great story, it's a fun and memorable game. Granted, the levels were a bit long, but the boss fights were plenty to distract you from it.
4. X-Men: The Official Game
This game actually serves as a plot bridge between X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. Terrible 3rd movie aside, this game was awesome, with 3 modes of playing: hack n' slash as Wolverine, teleport/beat-em-up as Nightcrawler, and ice-sliding around as Iceman. It had an excellent plot and gameplay, if it was a bit short.
3. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2
Ah. The game that improved upon Ultimate Alliance in almost every way. With better graphics, level curve issues solved, and a better roster, this game was excellent to play. Granted, the plot's a little weaker, and the levels tend to be overlong, but the combos and characters are amazing.
2. Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
The best fighting game since Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this game has two companies team up to create an excellent brawler. With teams of three battling, hyper combos, and a great roster of characters, it's everything you could want in a fighting game. Well, except a campaign with plot.
1. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (Wii)
The best Spider-Man game ever. Choose between light and dark as you fight to save New York from an invasion of the symbiotes created by the Black Suit and Venom. With multiple endings, a great story, and finely tuned mechanics, this game was as amazing as Spider-Man.

Top 10 Mario Games
Let's include all Mario games except Smash Bros, as that's more of a crossover game.
10. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Yoshi's Island. They call this Super Mario World 2, but it's a prequel more than anything else. And while it's certainly a good game, Mario crying is enough to make anyone scream.
9. New Super Mario Bros.
The game that started it all, but with improved graphics, Yoshis, and multiplayer. Certainly worth it, and has lots of replay value. Whether you want to make it through or sabotage your friends, it's got something for everybody.
8. Super Mario World
Hailed by many as the greatest Mario game, I can see the merits they give it. An excellent sidescroller, this is the best game of its time that has since been outdone by later games. Nostalgia might make others love it more, but it's clearly got superiors now.
7. Mario Kart Wii
Although the wheel add-on it comes with doesn't help all that much, Mario Kart Wii is an excellent game. Great tracks, roster, and karts/motorcycles all make this the best Kart since Double Dash. And speaking of...
6. Mario Kart: Double Dash
The best Mario Kart game to date, the two-man Kart was an excellent mechanic that I would like to see return one day. Probably won't, but who knows? Anyway, great game and good mechanics.
5. Super Mario Galaxy 2
Galaxy 2 is an amazing game that has the misfortune of coming after another amazing game. I prefer the larger and more expansive world of the original, and while the sequel does it justice, it loses a bit of the magic on the way.
4. Super Mario Sunshine
Sunshine is sort of the Wind Waker of the Mario franchise: panned at its release and loved now that it's aged. Fludd made for some interesting mechanics. There's no denying this game's originality, and while it's not the best game, it was certainly fun.
3. Super Mario 64
The first 3-D Mario game remains one of the best. Giant levels and huge amounts of content and replay value make this an excellent game. It's also very difficult to play all the way through, with 120 stars to collect and all. If you haven't played this, you've missed out on a classic.
2. Super Mario Galaxy
The first Mario Galaxy game is still the best one. Reminiscent of the lands of Super Mario 64, this game adds more fun with gravity and an epic story line to boot. It's Nintendo's best-selling franchise at its greatest, with amazing level design and great mechanics. You'll be hard-pressed to find another game that equals this one.
1. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Perhaps the most unconventional title on this list, it's also one of the best. Paper Mario is a peculiar RPG-style game that puts Mario on an epic quest to open the Thousand-Year Door and defeat anyone in his way while collecting Crystal Stars. I've never personally beaten the last boss before. It's WAY too difficult. Anyway, while this game diverges from the standard Mario style game, it's also a great one.
10. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Yoshi's Island. They call this Super Mario World 2, but it's a prequel more than anything else. And while it's certainly a good game, Mario crying is enough to make anyone scream.
