Marvel's Spider-Man Game Of The Year Edition Announced

Confirming a retailer leak, Sony and Insomniac have announced a Game of the Year Edition for Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4. The Spider-Man GOTY Edition includes all three episodes of the City That Never Sleeps DLC, and it's available in stores and digitally starting today for $40.

The special edition comes almost one year from the game's original release date of September 7. Spider-Man enjoyed a positive critical reception, including in GameSpot's Spider-Man review. Edmond Tran praised its emotionally charged story, web-slinging, and dynamic combat. The three DLC episodes continue the story after the main events of the game, as Spidey and his ally Black Cat deal with the villain Hammerhead.

Marvel's Spider-Man was a huge success for both Sony and Insomniac, and has now become Insomniac's last game as an independent developer. Possibly due in part to Spider-Man's massive (and PS4-exclusive) success, Sony recently acquired Insomniac Games. It also appeared as one of GameSpot's Best Games of 2018.

"Marvel's Spider-Man isn't just one of our favorite PS4 games of 2018, it's one of the best titles to come out this year," wrote Jordan Ramee. "Between the traversal mechanics, acrobatic combat, and story about a young man trying to shoulder a city's worth of responsibility, Insomniac's newest game captures the essence of what it's like to be Spider-Man."

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
