I really dig Web of Shadows, but I'm a comic nerd (venom tattoo). It has its issues, but it gets rid of them early on. Its really interesting to see a game put the ****** stuff up front, then get better.

So it's definitely worth getting?

If you dug Ultimate Spider-Man, this is the closest to that game that you'll get. Its not as amazing, but its nifty.

Spider-Man: WoS reminds me of Assassin's Creed in a way. They both have really strong central elements but everything around it isn't up to the same calibre.

Also, you learn pretty quickly: do not bother with all the damn 'side missions'!

But honestly, it is a really fun game. I'm seeing a lot of reviews complaining of repetition (seriously, ignore the side missions) but I remember SM2 and USM seemed to be just as samey. The only difference is this time round you really feel like Spider-Man; the combat is heaps better. You can go from fighting a green goblin-style hovering guy, to running along a wall, punching other guys, into swinging down onto the ground and taking out a few more.

And nothing beats nailing a swing kick and flinging a bad guy off into the distance.

I would have King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga, if Amazon wasn't being really retarded with it for some reason. The game released on the 28th, but every day since then, the ship date has been delayed. Meanwhile, other people, who didn't pre-order it, already have it. I don't get it; I've never had trouble pre-ordering something from Amazon before.

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia. It's a better game than the last two but I don't like how the series is becoming less about exploration and more about combat with each instalment. The game is kinda hard, but easier than Mega Man 9 and Contra 4, so it's manageable. Amazing boss battles too. Didn't know they had it in them. 8/10 game if you ask me.
