Collider has published a ranked countdown of the ten greatest Marvel video games ever made, arguing that superhero games let players finally live out their fantasies of controlling their favourite characters. While Spider-Man titles dominate the genre's reputation, the list also highlights team-based and ensemble games that let fans control the X-Men or the wider Marvel Comics roster rather than a single hero.

The excerpt covers three entries from the countdown, in descending order: X-Men Legends (2004) at number ten, which let players build a four-mutant squad from 15 characters and featured Sir Patrick Stewart reprising Professor X against Magneto; Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (2023) at number nine, praised for improved swinging mechanics and the addition of Miles Morales as a playable character; and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006) at number eight, which offered 32 playable heroes including variant characters such as Scarlet Spider.

– X-Men Legends (2004) — ranked 10th, praised for team-building and Patrick Stewart's return as Professor X
– Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (2023) — ranked 9th, noted for improved swinging and playable Miles Morales
– Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (2006) — ranked 8th, offers 32 playable Marvel characters
