Spider-man Gets New Game This August

Activision has officially announced the next Spider-man game. It will be called Spider-man: Web of Shadows and appear on virtually every console ever including DS, PSP, PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, and 360. This should come as no great surprise as there had already been rumors swirling, but to hear it's official is calming.

They haven't said much about what the game will entail except that it's a restructuring of the open-world New York gameplay that allows for more vertical battling up in the sky and lets the player make choices on which missions to follow, and which to ignore.

No word yet on if the game will suck like 3, but we're holding our hearts in our hands for a good Spider-man game. We feel we deserve it.

The game is set for release in August of this year and if you're going to be at the New York Comic-con this week, you'll be able to audition for voice over jobs on the game. Videos of the auditions are going to be posted on the Web of Shadow's web site where users can vote on who they like. Nice.
