How easy should it be to make a Hulk game? Put things in front of Hulk. Let Hulk smash. It's not a hard concept really. Especially when you kind of have a story already made for you. You'd think anyone could do it.

Enter Diego Rivera from the Behold the Sack YouTube channel. He likes Hulk. He likes games. It's a match made in heaven really. If only everything could work out this nicely………

Learn such things as:

  • Is it better to have a game based on the comic or let it do it's own thing?
  • At what point in gaming history did it become unacceptable to have the story told better in the manual than in the game itself?
  • Is Hulk as a mental health thing just an understood universal concept?
  • And so much more!

You can find Diego on Twitter @BeholdTheSack and on YouTube @BeholdTheSack and @Autosaving the Day (which I'm selfishly saying needs more episodes) especially the Daredevil episode that came up.
