Jumping enthusiast Robert Souris recently broke the world record for distance flipping, hurling himself nearly 20 feet through the air while dressed as a superhero of his own creation, all in the name of showing children how much more fun real jumping around is than virtual jumping around. Dressed as Zero G, his own super…

Spider-Man: Edge of Time‘s Greatest Foe Is the Dreaded Annualization

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…

Your Fourth Spider-Man From Shattered Dimensions Is…

…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. And he’s black. That black suit version of Spider-man could be a throwback to the post-Secret Wars webslinger, when Peter…

What’s Happening With The Warcraft Film?

Slated to helm Spider-Man 4, director Sam Raimi walked away from the project earlier this year. He is currently working on something that could very well be bigger. Much bigger.

Games Not Announced at E3, but We Wish Were

What would be bigger news, a GTA-Spider Man crossover, or an E-rated GTA? Knockoff spied in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, on the Singapore border, as seen originally at Qisahn

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? Wolverine’s done it all, hasn’t he? He’s fought everyone. He’s healed from every kind of wound inflicted…
