Spider-Man first made his way into our hearts in 1962 and since then his popularity has spread like a web to all facets of our media consumption channels. Believe it or not, the first Spider-Man game was made in 1978 called Questprobe which was a text based adventure.
I still think that the best spiderman game is
Spiderman & Venom: maximum carnage (SNES/GENESIS)
After Spiderman 3 (current-gen) i was really put off by Spidey games. It was a real let-down. And what's worse is the potential that's there for a great Spiderman game. As always it goes down to who's developing and if the publisher want's a real game or a cheap movie tie-in.
The trailer at the VGAs for the new game looked really good, but then trailers always do.
Spider-man and Spider-man 2: Enter Electro on PS1 were my 2 favorite Spider-man games.
My next after that was probably Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety. I never played Maximum Carnage actually.
Still to date, I've never played a Spider-Man game.
