But some mornings, you wake up and find news like this in your Twitter feed. Announced yesterday evening in San Francisco,…
While 2005 saw the GBA wells drying up, in 2006 they were nearly empty. It was in that year the handheld really hit its stride with the release of the DS Lite redesign and amazing titles like New Super Mario Bros. and Elite Beat Agents among many more. Following in the trend of Ultimate Spider-Man, Activision released two separate…
2006 was one of the strange years when Activision took a year off from making a Spider-Man console game, more than likely due to the fact that it had both Spider-Man 3, which debuted on over a half a dozen different platforms, and Spider-Man: Friend or Foe each set to be released in 2007.

When it launched in the fall of 2004, no one really knew what to think of Ninendo’s latest handheld, dubbed the DS. The touch screen interface, something that’s common today, was unheard of at the time and just around the corner was Sony’s PSP, a portable with near PS2 quality graphics and traditional buttons. 2005…
