* Many [[MarvelComics Marvel]] games, starting with 1999's ''X-Men Mutant Academy'', and most notably ''VideoGame/XMenLegends'' and ''MarvelUltimateAlliance''
** Activision currently and explicitly hold licences to produce games based on both the ComicBook/{{X-Men}} and {{Spider-Man}} comics & films, ''Ultimate Alliance'' being an odd one out as it involves the general MarvelUniverse. This does not prevent Spider and the mutants from appearing in [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 other]] [[MarvelNemesis games]], however.

In 2007, Activision became the single largest third-party game developer in the United States (after it merged with VivendiGames, the holding company of BlizzardEntertainment, best known for ''{{Warcraft}}'', ''{{Starcraft}}'' and ''{{VideoGame/Diablo}}'' and thus becoming Activision Blizzard), surpassing ElectronicArts. Today, the company is best known for being the publisher of the ''CallOfDuty'' series and games by BlizzardEntertainment, kicking off the late 2000s music game fad with the ''GuitarHero'' series and for its controversial business practices, especially concerning the contractual dispute with ''CallOfDuty'' developer Infinity Ward.
