Amazing Spider-Man

When I wrote up Gameloft's Dark Knight Rises mobile game for Android and iOS earlier this week, I compared it to their previous release, The Amazing Spider-Man, and for good reason. The games are very similar, both were released to tie in with a big summer movie, use the same "virtual joystick" control scheme, and the settings are even similar -- you could almost believe that Spider-Man

Call me a pessimist if you will, but I had a lot of misgivings going into The Amazing Spider-Man, the new Marc Webb film that reboots the Spider-Man movie franchise based on the Marvel superhero created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. For one thing, going back to the well of the origin story seemed completely unnecessary...

Developer Beenox has been releasing Spider-Man video games like clockwork each year since 2010's well-received Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. With this summer's release of The Amazing Spider-Man movie, though, they've been charged with bringing Marc Webb's cinematic reboot into playable video game form with The Amazing Spider-Man video game...

We know the action scenes and spider-snarking are pretty on point for The Amazing Spider-Man, the new Marc Webb film based on the Marvel Comics superhero, but what impressed me most about the early footage ComicsAlliance previewed back in February was the chemistry between Emma Stone and Andew Garfield...

How can you recreate the massive movie universe of The Avengers movie when you only have the rights to one comic? If you're Sony Pictures and rumors are to be believed, you decide to spin that one comic out into multiple movies - starting with this summer's The Amazing Spider-Man and continuing, maybe, with a Venom solo movie...

Oh, right, there's also a new Spider-Man movie coming out this summer! I've seen a few scenes from this one and taken collectively I enjoy The Amazing Spider-Man much more than all three previous Spidey movies combined, and I will be surprised (not really) if you don't agree when the Marc Webb film is released next month...

It's not just a meeting of minds, it's the kind of thing that Marvel would've once called "When Titans Clash!" But former movie Spider-Man Tobey Maguire and his cinematic successor Andrew Garfield are foregoing the traditional "fight, then team-up" routine in the upcoming issue of VMan magazine...

It's probably not that uncommon for some comic book fans to fantasize about being Stan Lee, considering he co-created much of the Marvel Universe and had the honor of working with such comic book legends as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and John Buscema (amongst many, many others) in the process...

What if you could see Spider-Man swing around the very streets you're walking in? As part of the ongoing attempts to promote this summer's The Amazing Spider-Man movie, Sony has made sure that there's an app for that.The Amazing Spider-Man AR app (available on both iOS and Google Play) uses the same kind of augmented reality technology as Marvel Comics' AR component of its ReEvolution digital prog

Your superhero movie attention span may feel like it's been taxed to the max by both the Friday opening of The Avengers movie and yesterday's release of the final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, but Sony would be remiss not to remind you that July also sees the release of Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man, right...
