I had no intention of playing this game, nor did I realise that this even existed, but as I was waiting for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 to download, I figured I might as well give it a shot. This is a fun short platformer bursting with vibrant colors and personality, showcasing so many of the innovations that come with the new DualShock controller in spectacular fashion. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to this next generation of consoles.

I wouldn't be true to my favorite games page if I didn't replay Spider-Man: Miles Morales as well. It was the perfect game during the holiday season in 2022 to satiate my Spider-Man craving until Marvel's Spider-Man 2 dropped a couple of months ago. Insomniac strikes again.

I just had to play this game on New Game Plus. It's the only full length AAA video game to date that I have replayed to date. There's so much to love about this game and after a year in between playthroughs, it just made me want to steep myself in its lore that much more. Exploring every nook and cranny of a video game has never been more fun than it was being Spider-Man.
