Peter Parker is about to turn 50 and star in a mega-budget film reboot and game tie-in, so we can't stop thinking about how spectacular, sensational and amazing Spider-Man can be. After starring in games since the Atari, he's consistently starred in some of the best comic book games in history (ignoring a certain bat-themed character). Why does the webbed wonder work so well in games? We've got at least seven reasons...
We're currently trapped in a bit of a Spider-Man media frenzy, but what's so great about the amazing one? Well, for starters he's starred in tons of memorable games. Read on as we rank his ten best video game adventures...

Whether
they’ve advanced menacingly toward our camera lenses, hidden their faces when
we look at them or just sort of hovered aimlessly, ghosts have been a semi-constant

Time to get "eggcited" for another "eggcellent"... no. No, I can't do this. Egg puns are horrible. Look, Easter Sunday was yesterday, so here's a Top 7 with some eggs in it, OK?
Sony seems to be on something of an HD remake kick lately. This week finally brought us long-awaited confirmation that the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection will head our way sometime next year; with last year’s God of War Collection and the upcoming Sly Collection, that brings to three the number of classic PS2 series Sony’s retrofitting with 1080p visuals and Trophies, before re-releasing as budget-priced PS3 games.
