Superhero games often carry a stigma of simply being a way to cash-in on fans of a particular franchise. There have been few games in past years that have challenged this preconception, such as Batman: Arkham Asylum and Transformers: War for Cybertron...

Today, I sat down and fired up my Xbox to check out Spider Man: Edge of Time. First thing I noticed about this game is that the plot is rather questionable. I know, I know, I’m being a purist here, but you can’t tell me just because Peter Parker dies...

So it seems that Activision has come to the conclusion so many other companies have about licensed properties: while releasing licensed games tends to make of money, releasing licensed games makes decent money and lets you focus your good developers...
Y’know, I don’t even know what to tell you here. I’m a huge fan of the Spider-Man character and franchise, I’ve enjoyed most of the games Activision has published featuring the character in the past decade or so, but even handed a game that features f...

Snappy writing and solid voice acting liven up the story, Pictureinpicture storytelling generates some urgency, Some powers are fun to use.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time tells an enjoyably absurd time-hopping tale, but stepping into the tights of its two heroes doesn't feel as empowering as it should...

Oh what a tangle web we weave, when first we practise to deceive. That sentiment, sadly, also applies to Edge of Time. It fails rather spectacularly to capitalise upon the potential of last year's Shattered Dimensions. Despite coming from the same deve...
Ultimately, Edge of Time feels like Shattered Dimensions DLC that has been misguidedly bloated into a full retail game. It’s definitely not spectacular, and certainly not amazing. Edge of Time is more a case of the Remarkably Disappointing Spider-Man.I...

It was just over a year ago when Beenox introduced us to the multi-dimensional world of Spider-Man in Shattered Dimension, giving gamers the rare opportunity to play as any of four unique versions of their favorite web-slinger. In Spider-Man: Edge of T...

Spider-Man has had a sorted past in the video game industry. For several years, players would suffer through some really half-assed experiences just to get their wall-crawler fix. Even when the PlayStation/Dreamcast era of Spider-Man brought us the fan...
