Do Not Call Yourself ‘Fuck,’ Spider-Man Doesn’t Like It

As long as there have been video games that let you enter text, there have been people using rude words. Many just let you use them, others will block them, but Spider-Man on the PS1 did something a bit different. At the player name entry screen, it would detect naughty words and as voice actor…

Someone Beat Spider-Man 2 Without Any Web Swings

What We Mostly Loved About Spider-Man: Homecoming

Insomniac’s Spider-Man, first shown at last year’s E3 (and which despite the timing has nothing to do with the new movie), looked promising today with a demonstration of high-flying gameplay.
