Friday the 15th: Spider-Man Takes Manhattan


At first I was skeptical when they announced a Spider-Man remake so close to the previous trilogy. But I have to admit, that trailer before the Avengers won me over and I actually think The Amazing Spider-Man could outshine the Toby McGuire films by a mile. Anyway you know the drill, there is a new movie based on a comic book, which means there is a new game based on the movie. So we have an all  new behind-the-scenes video that illustrates how Manhattan is truly Spidey’s playground. The video is narrated by Brent Nicholas, Executive Producer.

Extra points to the first person who identifies the inspiration for the news headline.

Mike's first experience with a console was in the early 80’s when his dad brought home an Atari 400. It wasn’t the greatest gaming machine at the time but it did play a crude version of Pac-Man and it had a keyboard. But, Mike's love for videogames really got started when his friend invited him over to his house to show off his newly acquired NES with Super Mario Bros. Mike had never experienced a game like that before and his friend actually convinced him that jumping into one of the pits would give him a powerup. It was a cruel joke and Mario lept to his death. But from that moment on Mike was hooked.

Mike was originally brought onto the Gaming Trend staff as a PSP editor starting with the god awful Major League Baseball 2K8. Thankfully, these days he reviews much better titles. He also spends an obscene amount of time playing The Lord of the Rings Online with his Dwarf Rune Keeper named McLush and his Warden named Hanton on the Elendilmir server.
