Johnson]

Activision has put out a video for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man game-of-the-film-of-the-comic, featuring a new made up* superpower for the webbed wonder.

It's called 'web rush', and it's not all that clear what it actually does. Part detective vision from Batman: Arkham Asylum, part bullet time, it seems to allow the wallcrawler to slow down ... click to read full item ]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 14:23:00 +0100 http://spong.com/nibble/27075/New-Amazing-Spider-Man-Video-Whats-a-Web-Rush http://spong.com/article/27074/PlayStation-All-Stars-Battle-Royale-Gets-Kevin-Butler Also Nathan Drake, Sly Cooper and Cole McGrath and Snake [Posted 18 May 2012 by Tim Smith]

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is not all about the characters. That would be cynical. It's about the finely balanced game play, the cutting edge graphics, the clever use of sound. Right? It's also got Snake, Drake and Kevin Bloody Butler!

IMDB shows up a cast list that includes: "Terrence 'T.C.' Carson as Kratos, Dred Foxx as ... click to read full item ]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 13:00:00 +0100 http://spong.com/article/27074/PlayStation-All-Stars-Battle-Royale-Gets-Kevin-Butler http://spong.com/feature/10110693/Review-Max-Payne-3 The devil you know [Posted 18 May 2012 by Mark E.

“I knew that if I was going to get the girl back, I was going to have to go after them like a Man on Fire. And if I had to die doing it, well, I'd Die Hard...” That all has to be said in the graveliest possible voice, of course.

Daleks! Cybermen! Silurians! Silence! That may look like a string of SEO terms aimed to hook in squirming Doctor Who fans, but it also happens to be some of the line-up of monsters you can expect from Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock.

Yes, we have a video about the monsters.

[Posted 18 May 2012 by Tim Smith]

So, Facebook is hitting the world markets at around £24 per share an Ubisoft is using it to pre-load Far Cry 3 multiplayer beta entries. Is there a connection!?? No, no there isn't. Also, the interesting thing out of that is that Far Cry 3 multiplayer early beta entries are up and running.

Basically, Ubisoft ... click to read full item ]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 12:10:00 +0100 http://spong.com/article/27072/Far-Cry-3-Beta-News-is-Good-News http://spong.com/nibble/27071/XCOM-Enemy-Unknown-Video-is-Developing-in-a-Diary [Posted 18 May 2012 by Tim Smith]

Following a wee but amusing hiccough featuring the Simpsons, 2K Games has made public a new dev diary for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the game due out this very autumn on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

The video features lead programmer Casey O’Toole explaining the many cool ways in which developer Firaxis has used new technology to ... click to read full item ]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 11:39:00 +0100 http://spong.com/nibble/27071/XCOM-Enemy-Unknown-Video-is-Developing-in-a-Diary http://spong.com/article/27070/Kingdoms-of-Amalur-Pitch-Queered-as-Dev-Debts-Loom Curt Schilling company in deep financial doo-doo [Posted 18 May 2012 by Tim Smith]

Kingdoms of Amalur - which we thought was, you know, okay - was developed by 38 Studios, based in Rhode Island, and now apparently totally unable to pay staff or State government.

The 'based in Rhode Island' bit is important for two reasons: firstly, that's the state that is owed money.

Sanzaru Games has confirmed that Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will be released on PS3 and Vita simultaneously this autumn of this very year.

What the? Simultaneously? Yes. Were you not reading that just then? The equally exciting thing is also that both versions are identical and were planned to come out together so you can ... click to read full item ]]> Fri, 18 May 2012 10:20:00 +0100 http://spong.com/article/27069/Sly-Cooper-Thieves-in-Time-Simultaneous-PS3-Vita-Launch-CONFIRMED http://spong.com/nibble/27068/Black-Ops-2-vs-Medal-of-Honor-Warfighter-During-Champions-League-Final [Posted 18 May 2012 by Tim Smith]

Chelsea versus Bayern Munich. Blue versus Red. England versus Germany. Okay, we can agree that last one is stretching a point a bit. However, the fact that Saturday night's (not really) Champions' League final coverage also holds a battle between EA and Activision really does make it interesting.

[Posted 17 May 2012 by Svend Joscelyne]

Writing a review about a Sonic the Hedgehog game these days is much more difficult than it used to be. Once upon a time critics could simply phone in a feature about SEGA’s mascot, opening with the now clichéd witticism about the Sonic series being ‘past it’. Of course, those banging on about the spiny one being reduced ... click to read full item ]]> Thu, 17 May 2012 17:30:00 +0100 http://spong.com/feature/10110692/Review-Sonic-the-Hedgehog-4-Episode-II
