Until I read the final reviews, I was very interested in playing Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. I was intrigued by having the chance to play a Spider-man game not constrained as a movie tie-in. The initial screenshots of New York City entangled in the webs of the symbiote looked amazing and having Venom as the main baddie was also a big plus. Then came the first shots of Spidey and Wolverine together (ok, maybe there are some team-up missions), but then the shots of symbiote-like Wolverine appeared. Uh oh… what’s going on here? Finally the reviews dropped: GameSpot – 8.0/10.0, Game Informer – 65/100, 1UP: C+, IGN – 5.7/10.0; and so I held off from buying the game.
