Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

Before Insomniac’s Spider-Man games, the character’s video game output was more of a rollercoaster with some real gems (Spider-Man 2 on PS2) and some real stinkers (The Amazing Spider-Man). Web of Shadows is one of the good ones and it was the last Spider-Man game built using tech from Treyarch (who also developed Spider-Man 2, 3, and Ultimate and assisted in the development on Web of Shadows). Like those games, Shadows is an open-world game, but this time around, combat got a big upgrade and a new choice system was added, forcing players to make hard calls throughout. It was proof Spider-Man games were always trying to do interesting things with open worlds. — Zack
