Spider-Man: Edge of Time is Activision’s attempt to turn the Spider-Man license into an annualized franchise. This is not a good thing, and it shows.

Playing Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions In The Year 2099

Activision brought a new universe from Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions to Gamescom, one that I was lightly familiar with; the one set in the year 2099. That’s the one that doesn’t have Peter Parker as Spider-man’s alter-ego. Instead we play as Miguel O’Hara. This Spider-man universe is shiny to the point of being distracting, bursting with…

…well, it could be a few things. What appears to be the final box art for Activision’s Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is here, thanks to Gamefly, apparently revealing the fourth, still unofficially revealed incarnation of Spidey.

What Makes Spider-man Amazing? What Makes Him Noir?

Activision’s suiting up its Spider-man license again with the hopefully does not suck Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions. In one reality Spider-man’s stealthy.

This Week In Comics

I don’t read many Wolverine comics. My leeriness of Marvel’s most famous X-Man is equal to my apprehension for video game’s Tony Hawk: Great in the past, but so over-exposed that maybe there’s no new greatness to come?
