Marvel Comic's beloved wall-crawler, the Amazing Spider-Man celebrates his 50th birthday this week and to celebrate I want to make a list of my five favorite Spider-man videogames. I did not include any of the Marvel vs. Capcom series, because they aren't technically Spider-Man games, even though my favorite team-up is Spidey and his nemesis Venom.
Check out the list and comment on your favorite title featuring the web-head.

Games based on movie suck! It is fact you can look it up. But Activision's Spider-Man 2 for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox was awesome. This was the best web-slinging game ever made. The game featured an assortment of badies, but that isn't why it made the list. It did because it allowed the player to freely roam around Manhattan, Roosevelt, Ellis, and Liberty Islands, by utilizing a then innovative physics-based engine that simulated Spider-Man's web swinging in three dimensions. The free-roam mode in the game made it feel like you were actually a superhero, except that all you did was fight repetitive petty crimes
