You see, there’s this thing about Spider-Man games. They can either be surprisingly awesome, or they can be horrible, buttery crap. There really isn’t much middle ground.

If the above trailer for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows from Comic Con ‘08 is any indication, this one might just wind up the former. Its got the visuals. Its got ass-kicking a’plenty.. Oh yeah, and its got Wolverine and Spiderman goin’ all symbiote and throwing things around. Yeah, I’m pumped.

The game should hit just about every console (360, PS3, PS2, PSP, PC, DS and Wii) on October 21st, 2008.
