I hope the CM of GOG acknowledge that I'm asking for the Shaba/Treyarch/Aspyr (PC/Wii/PS3/Xbox 360) version of the game. The Amazing Allies Edition by Amaze Ent. (PSP/PS2) is a metroidvania side-scroller beat 'em up that is MEH.
The PC release by the god awful Aspyr is a mess. It's capped at 30 and breaking the cap resulting the game broken and it stutters a lot!
So, I know this is a bit weird, but Web Of Shadows came out the year I was born, so I've always had a special connection with this game. I was unfortunately born with, as "certain people" in my life would say "quite a few complex health conditions." so I haven't been able to do things like normal people, and even now I've gotten so sick that I am unable to go to face-to-face school, so lets just say I don't have a booming social life, so of course I turned to gaming. Gaming is genuinely my only outlet in life and one of the only things keeping me going, and Spider-Man is, embarrassingly, one of the most influential and important figures in my life. Everyone who I've seen online always say that this is the definitive Spider-Man game, so obviously I NEED to play it! I do understand that there is a whole lot of legal issues with the older Spider-Man games, but I really just wanted to get my story out there, and who knows, maybe even someone else can relate. Welp, thanks for letting me share my story GOG, and please, and I mean PLEASE, keeping gaming alive!
This is my favorite Spidey game ever, I tend to beat it once every year, still have the disc and an old laptop with a drive. Would be great to finally have it and share game page to everyone else who hasn't discovered this gem in the rough
Love the story concept of this while it is a Spider-Man game it feels like a Prototype game with the controls and combat and for people complaining about the game being 30fps has to remember this was during the age where games were capped at 30fps and honestly feels smooth to play.
One of my child hood favorites the best spiderman combat from any game both the symbiote suit and regular suit gameplay was great story was abit eh but I really want this game to come back.
When i was a kid Spiderman: Web of shadows was my favorite Spider-Man of all time i loved every second of it. After a while my parents decided to take it away for 2 weeks as punishment on account of having nightmares with Venom (i was a little too young to be playing it), 2 weeks pass and my parents were going to give it back but they forgot where they've actually hidden it, we did eventually find it tacked between some sheets in the closet about 10-15 years later only realise it was now almost unplayable on modern hardware.
This game came out unexpectedly for me, like a bolt from the blue. As a fan who grew up with the 1994 cartoon, I was delighted to play as Spider-Man who can switch between suit options.
Dialogue options, QTE The moments and the plethora of heroes and villains, god, for 2008 it was great.
The crooked controls, technical condition of the game and translation did not stop me from playing this game twice in my childhood
I really hope that someday I will be able to play this wonderful childhood game again.
Best spider-man game that I know of. The combat system is top-tier, can be put in the same spot as God of War, Devil May Cry, Nier, Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden. I played on Xbox360 and I love it. Sadly this title is not backward compatible in newer xbox, and PC port was a mess back then. So there is no good way to play this title on modern platform.
To date, this STILL has the most in-depth combat and web-swinging mechanics from any Spider-Man game. It's from that special period of history in the mid-2000s before the MCU influenced every MARVEL product, so each character simultaneously feels true to their comic roots while also given enough creative freedom and expression to be unique in their own right.
I replayed it more times than I can count across multiple platforms to achieve every alternate ending and will do so again if given the chance. I hope for it to be brought to PC and given the proper love it deserves - including the unlockable costumes exclusive to the Wii version if able.
The Nintendo DS version is also one of the best side-scrollers I've ever played and would hope for that to be given attention as well, but I doubt that's possible.
This was my eldest kid's favorite game back when it came out. He's grown up and moved out, but I think it would be fun to revisit it with him. He has talked about it many times and concedes that the game perhaps wasn't even the best Spiderman game even for then, but it hits some certain emotion that's more than nostalgia, but a window to that time. Why this one in particular? It was almost like it was written by a little kid. "It will have Venom! And Wolverine! And..." so it kinda checks all the boxes.
Monster Hunter: WorldMonster Hunter: World sees players take on the role of a hunter that completes various quests to hunt and slay monsters within a lively living and breathing eco-system full of predators…. and prey. In the video you can see some of the creatures you can expect to come across within the New World, the newly discovered continent where Monster Hunter: World is set, including the Great Jagras which has the ability to swallow its prey whole and one of the Monster Hunter series favourites, Rathalos.
Players are able to utilise survival tools such as the slinger and Scoutfly to aid them in their hunt. By using these skills to their advantage hunters can lure monsters into traps and even pit them against each other in an epic fierce battle. Can our hunter successfully survive the fight and slay the Anjanath? He’ll need to select his weapon choice carefully from 14 different weapon classes and think strategically about how to take the giant foe down. Don’t forget to pack the camouflaging ghillie suit!Action Fantasy

Grand Theft Auto AdvanceGrand Theft Auto Advance is a handheld console game developed by Digital Eclipse, published by Rockstar Games, and released on October 26, 2004 for the Game Boy Advance. It is the only Grand Theft Auto game to not be developed by a Rockstar studio (formerly DMA Design).
The game is played from a top-down perspective; this view angle was seen on the first two games in the series, Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2, but vehicle-based side-missions (such as "Vigilante" and "Paramedic"), the heads-up display and a large majority of the weapons, first introduced in the three-dimensional counterparts, have also been included. Unlike previous top-down Grand Theft Auto games, vehicles can now flip over. It is the first game from the Grand Theft Auto series which got a 16+ rating from PEGI and an M rating (recommended for mature audiences though any age is still allowed access) from the Australian Classification Board. The game was released on the same day as the North American release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.Open world Action Sandbox
