Look at Activision CEO Bobby Kotick, who in a recent Game Informer interview admitted that the publisher's Spider-Man titles have been less than acceptable over the years.

"Our Spider-Man games have sucked for the last five years," he tells the magazine when talking about learning about commitment to quality from Blizzard. "They are bad games. They were poorly rated because they were bad games."

    Interesting. Would be even better if he said, "Our new Guitar Hero games suck." though.

    Hahaha, get a kick out of that. xD

    To be fair, Ultimate Spidey wasn't bad, neither was the film-based game, Spidey 2. And Web of Shadows had some really kickass gameplay. They just need to refine their concepts, weigh out the constant bad things about the series, and easily make a better game.

    Wait, does this mean they're planning on releasing a superb Spidey game? That would be very sweet.

    Spider-Man 2 wasn't bad at all. One of the best Superhero-movie games i ever played tbh

    It hardly went by the movies story and had alternate stories. Plus, it had the best damn boss fight ever with Mysterio.

      Can't say I disagree. Twisted Spiderman clones (plus a cool Army of Darkness reference) = win.

    I'm glad they understand this, so maybe they'll actually get around to making a GOOD Spiderman game.

      They've made plenty of good Spider-man games. Web of Shadows was amazing, if only a let down in a few places. Spider-man 2 was also amazing, for its time.

    Don't be so hard on yourseles Activison, It's not that your Spidey games have sucked, it's just been a small seven/eight years since the last good one (Spiderman 2)

    If he played Ultimate Spiderman I'm pretty sure he'd understand why everyone didn't think it was Game of the Year Material.

    Spider Man 2 was alright. Although Batman Arkham Asylum is the best Super Hero game ever in my honest opinion.
