If you're reading this, then congratulations are in order. It would seem, against all the odds, we've made it to the very end of 2018. Overall, 2018 was yet another nightmarish hellscape, but we're not here to talk about the world at l...

Insomniac Games got so much right with Spider-Man. First and foremost: the swinging. Collectively, we're conditioned to expect Spider-Man to move a certain way as he swings around town, zipping between high-rises like the concrete jungle is...

If this is it for Spider-Man PS4, it had a good run. It didn't even need DLC (an inevitable sequel will do just fine), but the existing add-on trilogy did a decent job of allowing us to continue enjoying the game's strong foundati...

The Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy of films defined the character for a generation of fans. In an era where comic book adaptations were typically viewed as fluff, Raimi brought gravitas and respect to the medium that had rarely been seen on t...

In just two months time we're two thirds of the way through Spider-Man's DLC (that we know of so far). We're just...swinging along like your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

I doubt anyone is going to complain about the nominee list for The Game Awards' "Game of the Year" category this year. In a year packed with almost non-stop hit games, almost any month could have given us a game worthy of that coveted crown...

Insomniac did a decent job of adapting the Black Cat character (including drip-fed bits of her father's time with the mantle) with the recent Spider-Man DLC "The Heist," and now the three-part ($24.99) season pass is set to continue with "T...

It's a little later than expected, but it's here just in time for some weekend web-slinging. Insomniac's latest update for Spider-Man (PS4) paves the way for the first DLC, adds the anticipated New Game+ mode, and introduces an Ultimate dif...

Spider-Man PS4 is swinging toward Game of the Year nominations as we speak with high sales and high critical marks all-around (and it doesn't hurt that it's going to be fresh in people's minds when voting happens soon-ish). It's not done ye...

This isn't going to come as a surprise to anybody, but Activision's multiplayer military shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is number one with a bullet, having debuted straight into the premier spot of the UK Charts this week. Particularly o...

After a few days of recovery, it's time to wrap up our coverage of New York Comic-Con. Between all of the running around most of us did from the Javitz Center to Madison Square Garden for the big panels, the Flixist crew is pretty damned ti...
