    Is 4 Minutes of Spider-Man Too Much?

    Is 4 Minutes of Spider-Man Too Much?

    No. Not really. Unless of course you're one of those people who don't want to know anything at all about the upcoming blockbuster films of 2012. In which case, what are you doing on the internet? Mission: Impossible - spend time on the internet and not get sucked into the latest news, video and pics from the biggest movies of the year. Take one such movie - 'The Amazing Spider-Man'. Whilst it's having a tough time competing for nerdsquee alongside The Dark Knight Rises and Prometheus,...

    Climb Like Spider-Man. No, Really.

    Climb Like Spider-Man. No, Really.

    Ever wanted to climb up a building like Spider-Man? Just place your fingers against the masonry and start climbing? Go past meetings where the guy who’s pontificating suddenly stops and turns to face you in surprise, and you give him like a really cool spidey thumbs up or something? Or climb the light tower at Acer Arena so you can see Justin Bieber rock out? What am I talking about? OF COURSE you’ve always wanted to do all those things! What a dumb question. Well, now thanks to research into...

    The Amazing Spider-Man Game - Have A REALLY Good Look at Rhino!

    The Amazing Spider-Man Game - Have A REALLY Good Look at Rhino!

    There’s been a lot of press about Rhys Ifans reptiling it up as super-villain The Lizard in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man film reboot, but thus far little talk about the accompanying game that Activision and Beenox are busy crunching together. Generally video game tie-ins to tent-poles like The Amazing Spider Man are nothing more than high-end pieces of merchandise, little better than pieces of digital memorabilia, if you will, to be marveled at and discarded, forgotten, as quickly as...

    Arkham City Gameplay Video: 10 Minutes, Featuring Catwoman

    It's hard not to get excited about Arkham City, the new Batman game, and sequel to the enormously popular Arkham Asylum.

The game will have you playing as Batman and Catwoman, and in this particular 10 minute snippet, you can see what it's like to be both. Saucy, and with some great gadgets. Whips too. Nice.

    Captain America: The First Avenger - New Trailer Gets Into It

    Captain America: The First Avenger - New Trailer Gets Into It

    Okay, this is one of those 'what happens in the movie' trailers, so if you want to go and see Cap on the big screen without any spoilers, you really shouldn't see it at all. That said, if you've been on the internet for the last year or so, you know pretty much everything you need to know: skinny Steve Rogers becomes a WWII super soldier, fights The Red Skull. Maybe there's a bit more to it than that. What we have here is a trailer not afraid to lay down all the basic plot points of the...

    Superheroes Need Love Too

    Superheroes Need Love Too

    As a superhero, life isn't all spandex tights and defeating the forces of evil. With great power, comes great loneliness. If you're looking for that perfect someone in your life, how hard is it to seek out that perfect mate who actually will enjoy weekends away in a hidden fortress somewhere amongst the bitter polar wastelands of the Arctic? Could you put up with the 'mother issues' of someone who saw their parents brutally gunned down in front of them? Sure, it's one thing to love someone...

    Want to see what the new Spider-Man looks like? First pic of Andrew Garfield

    One of the biggest surprises of 2010 was the dumping of Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire from the Spider-Man franchise. One of the slightly unsettling things of 2011 is how quickly the new, 'revamped' version of Spider-Man is taking over our consciousness. July 3, 2012 is the current release date. A year and a half, and then the world of Spider-Man will be forever changed. Columbia haven't released any synopsis. The story has been hinted to be a totally new angle for the super-hero genre, but it...

    Spider-Man, The Musical. By Bono and The Edge. WTF?

    Spider-Man, The Musical. By Bono and The Edge. WTF?

    Okay, so what's all this about a Spider-Man musical? Surely U2 can't be involved! It's obviously a misprint about the new film and the soundtrack, right? Right? Wrong. Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is now on Broadway. You can't be serious. Oh wait: yes. You can. How serious? It'll be directed by Julie Taymor, who is basically the Steven Spielberg of Broadway. Her direction of The Lion King changed the face of the modern musical, and she's won the Tony for direction - the first woman...
