Our top pick of the week?
Marvel’s Spider-Man
07/09/18
It’s Spider-Man okay, are you shocked? Are you surprised? What do you want from me? This game has been on our radar since we first heard it was coming.
A beloved character, married with a development studio with a history of stellar titles? You better believe it’s going to be a blast. Condolences to everyone who doesn’t have a PlayStation 4 because Sony are still killing it with those exclusives.
Now please excuse me as I’m about to vanish for weeks on end while I explore every nook and cranny of Manhattan as the Spectacular Spidey.
What new titles are you most excited for this week? Be sure to let us know!
