As you look down over the bustling, lively city of Manhattan, your mind whirs with the commotion of flashing lights and loudly blaring noises — your spidey senses begin to tingle. Crime lurks in every darkened alley and shadows threaten to overtake the light. In one deft move, you leap confidently from your spot perched atop a skyscraper and begin a dazzling sequence of acrobatic maneuvers, web-slinging your way across a city that you have deemed your personally protected playground. In this exciting story placed alongside the events of the second film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 lets you continue the adventures of Peter Parker as you search relentlessly for the person — or creature — who murdered your Uncle Ben.Put on the suit and slip on the mask of everyone's favorite neighborhood Spider-Man in this all-new adventure. Investigate and overpower a creative cast of all-star convicts and stop crime dead in its tracks. Explore the streets and skyline of New York City as you use your expansive web-slinging mechanics to glide over the cityscape on trusty strands of web. Perform a series of signature acrobatic combat moves to bring your enemies to their knees and keep evil at bay. Receive rewards for fighting crime or face the punishments if you fail to do so with the new Hero or Menace system. Take advantage of your expanded web-shooting capabilities to take down foes and unleash powerful chemical properties to freeze and blow up items on impact. Step out of the limelight and return to Spider-Man's citizen alter ego, Peter Parker, in order to hunt down the motivations of Manhattan's maniacal masterminds. Are you ready for an action-packed, adrenaline-pumping adventure with everyone's favorite web slinger?

For Next-Gen... it's average

I really wanted to like this game as I gave it a chance when I bought it but, for next-gen games, standards no doubt are raised for quality of games and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on next-gen is the best version available but that's not saying much. As of this review, the game is $60. I bought it and sold it to a friend a week after because I grew tired of it quickly. While not horrible looking, for PS4 it's pretty lackluster. The city is barren, the people look soulless, and bugs galore. Peter Parker does not look even remotely like Andrew Garfield and his voice feels really off-putting. By that I mean it's not his voice either. Probably just some Joe-Schmoe. I guess Garfield's voice/likeness was too expensive? Also the cutscenes and story, are laughable in their execution because you can tell the game did not have a long development time as occasionally cutscenes are done with concept art or storyboards. Animations of the character models are wonky and the game overall is just okay. It's a price dropper for sure. The best thing about the game is that the swinging is the best it's been in years but even for something like that, you're better off on waiting for it to drop. So either wait for the PS4 or Xbox One version to drop in price or buy it for PS3 and 360 and save $10 if you NEED to play it right now. Otherwise, just wait. Don't make my mistake.
What's great about it: Swinging mechanics, Stan Lee's Comic Shop
What's not so great: Weak PS4 graphics, clear signs of rushed development, dull combat
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Speakers for a Budget
on March 14, 2011

My previous speakers were something of a, creative solution so I wasn't at all surprised when the left was starting to give me no sound at all. Frustrated, I knew that I needed a quick replacement and my current financial situation wouldn't allow me to spend any more than $20, $25, maybe $30 tops. So these Insignia Speakers caught my eye and by no means is Insignia a bad brand. In actuality, it's a brand created within Best Buy and do a great job for anyone who's not looking to spend a lot of money on the unnecessary. I just needed something that would me to hear the audio of videos or music on my computer and man do these do the job. The common complaint I read about in the reviews is that the volume knob is a little tough to turn and this is true. But other than that, if you need some speakers for a low price and for non-professional work? Look no further than these.
What's great about it: Low Price, Very Easy to Set Up, Great Sound for Cheap
What's not so great: Volume Knob Slightly Difficult to Turn
I would recommend this to a friend!
