Marvel's Spider-Man redefined its titular character's mythos in the video games, offering tribute to the web-slinger's rich legacy along with introducing an all-new storyline. Given the attention to detail that Insomniac Studios have paid to the game, it offers a variety of Easter Eggs and pop culture references that only dedicated fans would have picked up.

Other interesting details related to the best-selling PS4 title include behind-the-scenes details and related media like comic tie-ins. To put it in a nutshell, Marvel's Spider-Man offers plenty of fan service for both seasoned "Spidey-heads".

With Marvel's Spider-Man, Insomniac Games brought the web-slinger to life in a way that rivaled any blockbuster film. Now Yuri Lowenthal's portrayal of Spider-Man is beloved, but like with any superhero portrayal, he needs a good villain to balance and elevate the story.

Marvel's Spider-Man features a wide array of villains ranging from iconic names to obscure gems. Which baddies stand out the most across the massive campaign and side missions? This will not be including villains and boss fights from Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

"Marvel's Spider-Man 2", the next game in PlayStation's "Marvel's Spider-Man" franchise, developed by Insomniac Games in collaboration with Marvel Games and PlayStation for the PS5 console, stars Tony Todd as 'Venom', Yuri Lowenthal as 'Peter Parker' and Nadji Jeter as 'Miles Morales', available in 2023:

"While pushing the capabilities of the console will be very exciting, we’re equally pumped to craft all-new stories for 'Peter' and 'Miles'," said Insomniac's Ryan Schneider. "Just as in our previous 'Spider-Man' games, we not only want to tell a great 'Super Hero' story, but also deliver a compelling human story, one full of heart and humor that dives deep into the people behind the mask."

We’ve been blessed with a surprising number of great superhero video games over the years. From Batman for the Nes to The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Marvel’s Spider-Man, developers have often shown superheroes the love it took them years to consistently receive in other mediums.

Yet, I understand why it’s so easy to focus on the superhero games we almost got rather than the ones that we did get. There’s an entire section of gaming’s digital graveyard devoted to canceled superhero games, and it’s filled with projects that could have been contenders or, at the very least, would have given comic book fans everywhere the chance to spend time with characters that still haven’t gotten a proper video game adaptation to this day.

So brace yourself for disappointment as we look at what could have been and 15 of the most notable superhero games...

The British Academy Games Awards crowned Supergiant’s Greek mythology title Hades the best game of the year during the 2021 BAFTA Game Awards Ceremony on Thursday. Hades won a total of five awards, including best artistic achievement and game design at the awards show hosted by journalist Elle Osili-Wood.

While Hades took home the event’s biggest prize, other notable winners include Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part II and Animal Crossing New Horizons. Media Molecule Studio Director Siobhan Reddy was honored with the BAFTA 2021 Fellowship. During her acceptance speech, Reddy spoke about how increased diversity and inclusion in the ranks can continue to push the gaming industry into greater paths of discovery and innovation.

This Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales article contains spoilers.

Spider-Man has always benefited from one of the best rogues’ galleries in comics, but the recently released Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales features a villain whom some franchise fans may not immediately recognize: a businessman named Simon Krieger.

While it probably won’t come as much as a surprise that Miles Morales focuses on a new villain given that it’s a spin-off of the Marvel’s Spider-Man story, it turns out that Krieger isn’t actually an entirely new face in the Marvel universe. The game’s ending also strongly suggests that this won’t be the last we see of him.

Let’s break down who Simon Krieger is, his comic book origin, what happened to him at the end of the game, and whether we’ll see him in the inevitable Marvel’s Spider-Man 2…

Who is Simon Krieger?...

Christmas is coming early for Spider-Man fans this year.

Next week marks the long-awaited launch of Insomniac’s new entry in the web-slinger’s video game adventures, though this time around, it won’t be Peter Parker donning the mask. Miles Morales, Peter’s protégé and equally talented wall-crawler, embarks on his own solo journey to learn the superhero ropes later this month, taking on two warring factions threatening to disrupt the security and peace of his home in Harlem. Unsurprisingly, the deluge of reviews published today, following Sony’s lifting of the embargo, have revealed Miles Morales to be a worthy, if somewhat derivative, follow-up to 2018’s installment, which will also be available on PlayStation 5 next week in the form of a remaster.

As for what’s new in this particular version, all the usual visual and performance upgrades that one would expect are guaranteed, with other tweaks including...

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is being touted as an amazing follow-up to Marvel’s Spider-Man as well as one of the PlayStation 5’s best launch games by Sony, as we head into the next generation of console gaming. It’s certainly true that a blockbuster first-party exclusive like Miles Morales could help Sony’s next-gen console beat out the powerful Xbox Series X this holiday.

While Miles Morales isn’t a “full” sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man but more of a next-gen expansion starring the fan-favorite Spidey in training, everything that we’ve seen of the game thus far suggests it feature the same brilliant open-world gameplay and developer Insomniac Games’ undeniable sense of style. It will also feature a bodega cat named Spider-Man, which feels like a selling point in itself.

Regardless of how you feel about cats, Miles Morales will undoubtedly be one of the games early adopters...

Sony wants to follow-up on the historic success of the PlayStation 4 with its next-gen console, the unsurprisingly named PlayStation 5. With the PlayStation brand stronger than ever before, many people are already predicting that Sony could be in the driver’s seat heading into the next-generation of console gaming.

But that doesn’t mean a thing if you ain’t got those games. Sony will launch the PS5 with both a series of first-party exclusives and many next-gen third-party titles. Could these games be enough to beat out the Xbox Series X’s confirmed list of titles?

Below, you’ll find a breakdown of the launch titles you’ll get on the PS5 as well as the PS4 games you’ll be able to upgrade to their PS5 versions for free and the PlayStation Collections library you can expect to see on day one:

PS5 Launch Games

Here’s the list...

Believe it or not, today marks the two-week countdown to the long-awaited launch of Sony’s next console. While Microsoft will be the party officially kicking off next-gen this time around with the worldwide release of Xbox Series X/S on November 10th, PlayStation 5 is due to follow just two days later, though only in a select few territories, including North America. Folks in Europe and elsewhere will have to exercise patience for an additional week, though in the grand scheme of things, seven days matters very little.

Regardless of which date you have jotted down on your calendar, the launch lineups for both consoles will be identical no matter where they’re purchased, and it’s Sony’s entrant in the race that’s currently the runaway winner in that regard. While the situation can (and most certainly will) change in the days and weeks ahead, gamers who opt...

As you may recall, we recently talked about how Spider-Man Remastered recasts Peter Parker’s facial actor as part of Insomniac’s extensive attempt to update the PS4 game to take advantage of the PS5’s capabilities. More importantly, we talked about how many fans were not happy with that change.

Well, that debate has been reignited thanks to the release of this new teaser clip for Spider-Man: Miles Morales that showcases the “new” Peter Parker and Miles Morales sharing a text exchange over whatever the Marvel universe equivalent of an iPhone is.

What do Super Heroes talk about? Enter a conversation between Miles Morales and Peter Parker.

Fans who pre-ordered the PlayStation 5 are undoubtedly looking forward to returning to the Marvel universe for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a continuation of the critically-acclaimed superhero game from 2018 that sees young Miles become a hero in his own right. This time around, Miles is working to protect Harlem from a new villain known as the Tinkerer, all while being caught in the middle of a war between the Roxxon Energy Corporation and the Underground, the Tinkerer’s army.

Ahead of the title’s release in November, Game Informer has dropped a preview of Spider-Man: Miles Morales‘s first boss fight between Miles and Rhino, who’s returned to get revenge after the events of the first game. Check out a brief clip of Miles facing off with Rhino in the video below:

Homer Simpson’s African American nuclear plant supervisor Carl Carlson will be voiced by Alex Désert on The Simpsons season 32 premiere, according to Variety.

There is now word yet on whether Désert will continue to voice the character beyond Sunday’s episode “Undercover Burns.” Désert is a veteran animation voice actor, appearing as Swarm on Disney Xd’s Spider-Man: Maximum Venom, Mr. Bojenkins on Adult Swim’s Mr. Pickles and its spinoff, Momma Named Me Sheriff, and on The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. He was a regular on the TV series Becker, which starred Ted Danson, and appeared on such varied shows as Boy Meets World, Better Call Saul, and Better Things. He also appeared in films like The Flash, Freaky Friday, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, High Fidelity and Swingers.

“We are very pleased to welcome Alex Désert, playing Carl in The Simpsons’ season premiere,...

“The Simpsons” fans might notice at least one long-running character sounds a little different in Sunday’s Season 32 premiere.

In the episode, Carl Carlson — Homer Simpson’s nuclear plant co-worker, and best friend to Lenny Leonard — is now voiced by actor Alex Désert (“Better Things”). Désert replaces Hank Azaria in the role, at least for that episode.

The switch comes as “The Simpsons” producers confirmed earlier this summer that it would no longer have white actors voice non-white characters. Azaria had voiced Carl, who is Black, since the beginning of the show.

It’s unclear whether Désert is Carl’s permanent voice, and if he’ll be voicing other characters as well. Among other recurring characters the edict might impact include Dr. Julius Hibbert, who is seen in the episode, but doesn’t speak.

Désert also voices Swarm on Disney Xd’s “Spider-Man: Maximum Venom” and Mr. Bojenkins on Adult Swim...

Excitement quickly turned to confusion when Sony announced that a remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man would be released for PS5 as part of the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition. What should have been a simple cause for celebration was complicated by questions regarding how this remaster would fit into the sometimes confusing world of next-gen upgrade options.

See, if you buy the recently confirmed PS4 version of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, you can upgrade to the PS5 version of the game at no extra cost. By that logic, some fans assumed that those who own the PS4 version of Marvel’s Spider-Man would be able to upgrade to the PS5 remastered edition of that game at no extra cost.

However, it turns out that’s absolutely not the case. Well…at least that’s most people’s first read of a lengthy (and only vaguely helpful) statement...

Sony’s not doing itself any favors with the handling of Spider-Man‘s upcoming PlayStation 5 remaster.

As confirmed earlier this month, Insomniac’s acclaimed 2018 title, a PS4 exclusive, is headed to next-gen later this year with a raft of visual and technical improvements intended to take advantage of the superior hardware housed within the PS5. A welcome announcement, of course, but seemingly forgetting the backlash Activision received in 2016 for its bungled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered launch (initially only available as a bundle with Infinite Warfare), Sony has essentially made the exact same mistake.

Only by purchasing the Ultimate Edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales – which is $20 more expensive than the standard version – will Spidey fans be able to get their hands on Peter Parker’s original adventure and it’s now been confirmed that the premium will be required regardless of whether you own the PS4 version or not.

If you’re on the lookout for some insanely cheap deals, you can’t go wrong with the PlayStation Store sales that have been dropping recently. In fact, right now, there’s not just one sale to get your teeth into, but a duo of gigantic promotions that are offering hefty discounts on hundreds of really popular PS4 titles.

Indeed, not only are there currently 10 Aaa PS4 games on sale for $5 or less, but there’s also another round of reductions boasting huge savings on tons of top-tier gaming experiences. From Red Dead Redemption 2, Days Gone and Borderlands 3, to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, Death Stranding and Detroit: Become Human, there’s bound to be a title in the mix that’ll likely pique your interest.

Be mindful, however, that Sony’s latest sales will end on September 17th, so if you’ve got your eye on one of the...

If you’ve missed out on some of the best exclusives PlayStation 4 has to offer, Sony’s latest sale promotion could be just the one for you.

Kicking off yesterday and scheduled to run for two weeks until September 16th, this so-called Essential Picks includes a ton of games from almost every notable publisher and developer under the sun, including Naughty Dog. Indeed, despite being little more than a few months old, the studio’s latest release – The Last of Us Part 2 – is included in the sale, albeit with a smaller discount than older titles. Even so, a 16% saving on one of this year’s biggest releases is nothing to scoff at, and there’s plenty of other digital adventures up for grabs for a fraction of their usual asking price if Joel and Ellie’s second outing in post-apocalyptic America isn’t your jam.

In a recent corporate report about the 2020 year (which is typically as thrilling as it sounds), Sony revealed that they intend to bring more PlayStation games to PC.

“Sie aims to achieve robust revenue growth by accelerating the virtuous cycle that has been established for the PlayStation Platform,” reads a section of the report. “Targeted outcomes include growth in active users, stronger retention, and a shorter cash conversion cycle, from which expanded cash flow can be expected. We will explore expanding our 1st party titles to the PC platform, in order to promote further growth in our profitability.”

That last line is really the star of the report from a consumer perspective, but its meaning is a little more ambiguous than it may initially appear to be. What does Sony mean when they say they will “explore” the possibility of bringing more games to the PC platform. Does that mean...

Ghost of Tsushima is a brilliant send-off for the PlayStation 4, a Sony console that has enjoyed many big Aaa successes since it launched in 2013. Not only is the PS4 the best-selling console of the current generation but it’s also the exclusive platform of some of the biggest game releases in the last few years, including The Last of Us Part 2, God of War, Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Marvel’s Spider-Man. And Sucker Punch’s latest open-world title lives up to its predecessors with an adventure steeped in Japanese culture and inspired by classic samurai stories.

With the PlayStation 5 on the way and scheduled to release this holiday, some of you might be wondering whether Ghost of Tsushima will make its way to the next-gen console later this year. The short answer is that Ghost of Tsushima has not been confirmed for the PS5 as of yet, but there’s...

Gamers looking to get their hands on the PlayStation 5 are inching closer and closer now to achieving their goal. The console, which should be on store shelves later this year to compete with Microsoft’s own next-gen device, the Xbox Series X, was finally revealed to the world the other week, and suffice it to say, folks were floored by what they saw.

Aside from showing us two different versions of the very modern-looking console, Sony also announced a number of games for the platform, beginning with Insomniac’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. But that was just the tip of the iceberg, as what followed was an avalanche of high profile, exciting and intriguing titles, leaving gamers with their jaws on the floor.

And below, you can find the full list of everything that’s been confirmed for the PlayStation 5 so far. Ready to dive in?

Marvel may have only released a single teaser trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, but by drawing upon the McU’s continuity, fans have already formed their conclusions when it comes to Joe and Anthony Russo’s super-sized epic.

Marvel’s had a tough year, with the House of Ideas struggling to cope with poor sales performance. Needless to say, the solution is apparently the latest relaunch, known as Marvel Legacy. It’s all kicking off with this week’s #1, a one-shot that establishes the overarching narrative for everything that’s about to happen. That’s an approach Marvel pioneered back in the ’90s, with the “Age of Apocalypse” event, and it’s been repeated many times.

The company has assembled some of their top talent for this book, writer Jason Aaron and artist Esad Ribic. Aaron really is one of Marvel’s best, a storyteller who got his big break when he won a Marvel talent competition and got to write an eight-page Wolverine tale. He’s best known for his ongoing series of The Mighty Thor, for a lengthy and much-loved Wolverine run, and for a tremendous Doctor Strange arc.

It’s time to party like it’s 1999, because Eddie Brock is back in the driving seat of Venom.

The symbiote’s status quo has been as fluid as its own form over the last few years. Mac Gargan was Venom for a time – even becoming a member of the Dark Avengers, and more recently, Flash Thompson became a fan-favorite as Agent Venom, even joining the Guardians of the Galaxy for a while. Returned to Earth, the symbiote has now found a new host – former Ranger Lee Price. Venom #6, though, is the moment when all that changes.

It’s the issue where the Venom symbiote finally goes home.

Mike Costa’s script is smart and savvy, and – in a delightful twist – neither Lee Price nor Eddie Brock is the main character of this issue. Rather, the symbiote is.

In these days of launches and relaunches, it’s actually quite unusual for a Marvel comic to get to 25 issues. Let’s face it, though, if any series was going to do it – it’s Dan Slott’s Amazing Spider-Man. Incredibly, Slott joined the team of Amazing Spider-Man ten years ago, back in 2007, and in those ten years we’ve seen dramatic changes to Spider-Man‘s status quo. Under Slott’s direction, the franchise has broadened out more than ever before, with the “Spider-Verse” event launching other web-slingers into action; we now have a wider-than-ever spider-centric corner of the Marvel Universe, with spinoffs like Silk, Spider-Gwen and Spider-Man 2099.

A lot of writers tend to use an issue like this to complete a story, but not Dan Slott. He tied up “Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy” in the last month, and now he’s moving on to the new arc,...

So, when Amazing Spider-Man #25 ships next month, expect it to fly off shelves even though it will likely be sold at a higher price when you factor in the knowledge that it will be 96 pages strong.

Kicking off in June, it's unclear what this means for The Amazing Spider-Man and Dan Slott's take on Peter Parker having his own company and going on globe-trotting adventures, but based on comments from Zdarsky, this definitely sounds like it could be the title many fans have been demanding for a while now.
