It’s pretty astonishing how far developers have come with the mobile platform in such a short period of time. Where once game designers were trying to emulate traditional games on a touch screen with virtual buttons and sticks/directional pads, now the best of the best in the mobile space are games that are intelligently designed…
Spider-Mania was developing early in the new millenium as the release date inched ever so closer to Sony’s first Spider-Man film and 2001 saw two different sequels starring the character released to capitalize on that: Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro from Vicarious Visions for the PSOne and Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six on Game Boy Color from Torus…
When it launched in the fall of 2000, Activision’s Spider-Man would eventually be playable on every platform on the market: PSOne, PS2 (via backwards compatability), N64, PC, DC and even the Game Boy Color. As the game goes, one of those games are not like the other, I’m of course referring to the Game Boy Color port…
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, a show near and dear to my, and I’m assuming a lot of people’s, heart. To mark that event, a lot of the talent from the show reunited over this past weekend to discuss the now classic animated series that ran on the FOX…

Upon its release, Shattered Dimensions turned out to be a really great game, presented as a love…
Prior to the release of Spider-Man: Edge of Time on the Nintendo DS, development duties for Spider-Man games on the DS had fallen on Griptonite Games who created some pretty great “metroidvania” style games featuring the web-slinger with Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions. That particular studio was purchased by Glu Mobile in 2011 to work…
I don’t know if I can speak about this game without wearing rose colored glasses as this game holds many cherished memories for me. As a kid, I loved Spider-Man. I loved the comics, I loved the cartoon and then I got to play a game featuring him on my Game Boy. I played through…
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Marvel’s iconic web-slinger, and as we approach the 700th and supposed final issue of the Amazing Spider-Man, I thought it would be topical to look at some of the more important video games starring the wall crawling wonder.
