TMA - Gameloft, infamous for its array of games “inspired” by various successful PC titles has lately been on a roll, releasing games under licensed franchises. Some are better, some are worse, but a surprise hit has been the adaptation of one of the most popular comics ever – Spider-Man as a 3rd person Brawler in Spider-Man: Total Mayhem. Comic game adaptation have suffered a fate similar to many movie-inspired titles with below par releases across all platforms.

With Spider-Man swinging back into theaters this summer, it’s a good time to look into his video game history and see the ups and downs of the web slinger’s offerings to the world of digital entertainment. Few superheroes have had as many video games made for them as Spider-Man has so it’s a decent sized list but that won’t stop us from digging into it. As we did with The Avengers, we will focus on the Spider-Man centric games which means we will skip the various fighting, pinball and mash-up entries like Ultimate Alliance. Spider-Man is the star of the games on this list so if you’re ready, strap on your embarrassingly tight jumpsuit and let’s swing into action!
Wow what a list! I didn't realise there were so many, although I have played damn near all of them lol.
You're right, there are sooo many Spider-Man games. He must be easy to develop games for.
Had the Spideman/Xmen game (really good), Maximum Carnage (the best imo), and Separation Anxiety. Those are the 3 best Spiderman games ever made, MC and SA had a great comic book feel to them. Ive wondered why they havent remade them or had a xbla sequel instead of these generic crap movie tie-ins.
Also im pissed as hell that i never got spiderman 4. The whole series i was waiting for them to get to Carnage and right after venom they reboot the series. Im also waiting for Xmen to finally have Apocalypse, my favorite character for sure. Hollywood has no frickin clue.
I agree. Spider-Man 3 wasn't the greatest but I liked Sam Raimi's vision for the franchise. Seeing his version of Carnage would have been fantastic!
You forgot one of the better spiderman games. Spiderman for the dreamcast!!! Maximum Carnage Snes was a great one, what memories!
Superheroes are one of the biggest things in nerd culture, we all have our own favorite hero. Some like Superman, Bat-Man and the odd one will love Aquaman. Mine happens to be Spider-Man. I’ve spent too much time reading Spider-Man comics, just finished watching the 90′s cartoon and did a marathon of the Spider-Man movies. With that being said the movies declined drastically at part 3. Now the movie has been rebooted with new actors and hopefully a better story arc. Not going to lie–I’m excited–but nervous. That also means that a new Spider-Man game will be coming out. There have been numerous Spider-Man games in the past but which are worth your time? This isn’t which one followed the stories of the comics the best nor’ is it about which follows the Spider-Man saga, it’s just about which one makes you feel like Spider-Man, which one is the most fun and which one has enough replay value. This is the Top Ten Spider-Man Games
Wow. I'm normally on top of gaming news, but I've "never" heard of this title until now.
Edit: IPhone? Pfff. Yup, that explains it.
