Spidey Returns This Year In Spider-Man: Friend or Foe

Friend of foe? Hell if I know what Spidey will be in his next game, but whatever it is, it's coming, and it's coming fast! Barely did Activision kick the Spider-Man 3 game out the door last week, and they are already revealing the next iteration in their ironically well-selling franchise. So well-selling, in fact, that Spider-Man 3 has already leaped to the very top of the UK All Formats charts as of yesterday, according to GI.biz. As for the irony, the same report states that the PC version of Spider-Man 3 only accounted for 1% of the game's total sales over all the platforms (no wonder it only scored a lousy 5.9 in our review).

Anyway, you're probably waiting to hear what we know about the upcoming game Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, so I'll just spit it out: absolutely nothing. Well, almost. We know it has an official website, and we know it's coming from Activion in autumn 2007, but that's about it. Nothing solid on the game itself, nor even the target platforms - but we're starting to have our doubts regarding any future PC versions, seeing how horrible they sell these days...

Until Activision releases the "full site" - and the "full announcement", no doubt - all we have to go by are the few renders shown during the website's intro (you can also see them in our local gallery), and this vague tagline:

"A new twist on the legend. A new take on the movies..."

"..." indeed...
