In our Marvel’s Spider-Man review, we said that Spider-Man is arguably the best superhero for an open-world game. The first key element that he brings to the table is his web-shooting and swinging. Players are treated to the freedom of roaming around Marvel’s version of Manhattan using different abilities that can be unlocked as the game progresses. Getting around the city remains interesting because players need skill and some strategic thinking to reach different points.
Another feature that makes Marvel’s Spider-Man entertaining is Peter Parker’s alternate life as a crime fighter who zips through the city to stop both small-time criminals and supervillains — all in one day. The combat system, much like the game’s roaming aspect, changes as you unlock moves and gadgets. The variety of ways to knock bad guys out adds more layers of fun and improvisation to the game.
We finished Marvel’s Spider-Man in around 12 hours, but dedicated players can quickly finish the main story campaign. Add the extra open-world content, and the game can take twice as long to finish. You can even get more hours of entertainment by exploring Manhattan to take photos of Spider-Man at the game’s landmarks.
Whether you are a fan of the character Spider-Man or PlayStation games, Marvel’s Spider-Man is a great addition to your collection. Get your copy of the standard edition for only $20 on Amazon or Walmart today. Hurry and place your order now while supplies last.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
