It appears that Venom fans will get their fill in the latest installment of Spider-Man branded videogame action. I have been impressed by what I’ve seen from this game, and it just keeps getting better.

The latest clip reveals a little more information about the symbiote New York city takeover (think EA merging with Take-Two only with lots of black ink) and explains Venom’s role in it all.

Check out the clip after the jump. Read more…

We sat down with Graham Fuchs, Senior Executive Producer on Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, to talk about some of the key elements in the latest addition to Activision’s Spider-Man videogame library.

What exactly does the game have to offer fans who grew tired of the movie based adaptations, and will it be the title that helps old webhead regain his grip, as he climbs to videogame greatness? Find out after the jump. Read more…

Marvel and Activision are asking gamers to vote on the cover for the upcoming “Spider-Man: Web of Shadows”. As a big fan of Spider-Man, and someone who has very high hopes for this game, I want things to get off to a good start. So if that means offering my two cents when asked, I am ready to do so.

As of the time of this post, the race is close with 51% support behind cover # 1 (Spidey holding the city in his hands) and 49% behind cover #2 (funky illustrated forearms crossed). My money is on cover #1. It reminds me of an old John Romita cover, and that is never a bad thing. Cover #2 however lacks the depth needed to draw your eye in and just doesn’t work in my opinion.

The full press release as well as the two covers are available in a larger format after the jump. Have a look at them and add your vote to the mix. Read more…

It has been some time now since I have been really excited to play a Spider-Man licensed game. As a big fan of the web slinger, I have been disappointed in the past few attempts at bringing Spidey to life in an interactive videogame environment.

The best part of being Spider-Man in a videogame should be the feeling of fighting and moving in a way you would imagine him to move. The successful Sam Rami Spider-Man movies (we forgive the third one) have only added to the expectations of wanna be webheads.

After checking out the combat and controls highlighted in the roughly 90 second behind the scenes trailer below I would be lying to you if I said I wasn’t excited to take the game for a spin and see some more. Developer Shaba Games seems to be very hard at work. Read more…
