“I really think the fans will love it,” says the ever smiling creator of Spider-Man and many others. “They seem to enjoy my cameos in the movies, and this takes it a step further.”

Play as Stan Lee with Amazing Spider-Man pre-order bonus
Stan “The Man” Lee is about to star in his greatest cameo to date… as a playable character in The Amazing Spider-Man. Players who pre-order the PS3 or Xbox 360 version of the game from Amazon will receive a code to unlock the “Stan Lee Adventure Pack.”
The “Stan Lee Adventure Pack” will send the comic creator webslinging across Manhattan, searching for the lost pages from his latest script. Lee will provide some of his trademark witticisms (“Excelsior!” and such) to make the bonus level even more authentic (Stan Lee has spider-powers, right?).
GameStop has also announced a pre-order offer of their own for The Amazing Spider-Man, a special missions starring The Rhino. “The Rhino Challenge” stars the hulking villain and asks players to rampage through New York trying to cause as much damage as possible. Like the Stan Lee Adventure Pack, the Rhino Challenge is also limited to pre-orderers of the PS3 and Xbox 360 version.
Sadly for GameStop, I think I know which mission gamers will be much more interested in and it ain’t The Rhino Challenge.

The Amazing Spider-Man battles Iguana in new trailer
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever… Activision makes him do. Hmm, that doesn’t quite work. But no matter, true believers! We have a new trailer featuring The Amazing Spider-Man.
This Summer’s movie of the same name will feature Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) wooing Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), booing Captain George Stacy (Denis Leary), and battling The Lizard (Rhys Ifans). And in the trailer above, we get our first look at The Iguana, a mutated iguana that, according to Marvel lore, was created when Dr. Curt Connors first transformed himself into The Lizard.
The Iguana? Seriously? Apparently, he has the same powers as The Lizard, but he can also hypnotize people. Man, the 70s were a weird time for comics weren’t they?
But no matter! The Amazing Spider-Man will be available for the 3DS, DS, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 on June 26. Excelsior! And such.
New Amazing Spider-Man trailer reveals Rhino, June 26 release date
When you think of Spider-Man’s greatest villains, The Rhino is not usually a name that comes to mind. So naturally, developer Beenox gave him the Bane treatment in their game adaptation of The Amazing Spider-Man.
In addition to a very menacing Rhino and a creepy soundtrack, the new trailer above also reveals that The Amazing Spider-Man will be available in stores on June 26 for the 3DS, DS, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
Spike TV VGAs: The Amazing Spider-Man battles Spider Slayers in an open world NYC
The movie tie-in game may be slowly dying, but don’t blame it on The Amazing Spider-Man. Your friendly, neighborhood wallcrawler will star in a rebooted movie franchise next July and Activision’s tie-in game will open after the events of the Andrew Garfield/Emma Stone-starring film. It seems that Norman Osborn and the mad scientists at Oscorp have unleashed the Spider Slayers on Manhattan to stop “biological attacks” (read: mutated heroes like Spider-Man and villains like The Lizard). The Slayers promptly go bonkers and Peter Parker has to pick a fight and punch out some robots.
The Amazing Spider-Man will be available in Summer 2012 for the 3DS, DS, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360. Hit the jump to view the full trailer. (more…)
Activision unveiling Amazing Spider-Man trailer at Spike TV VGAs
Activision released the first gameplay trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man during the New York Comic-Con (check it out above). Today, they’ve announced that a “WORLD PREMIERE EXCLUSIVE TRAILER” (emphasis theirs) for the game will make its debut during this Saturday’s Spike TV Video Game Awards.
Sadly, it’ll probably end up being the same trailer as a teaser at the game’s official website features footage identical to the Comic-Con trailer.
But we’ve also learned that screenwriter Seamus Kevin Fahey will be crafting the story of the Beenox-developed game, which will take place after the events of the new movie. His previous credits include episodes of “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” and “Battlestar Galactica.”
Gamers will be able to websling all around an open world Manhattan next Summer, when The Amazing Spider-Man comes to the 3DS, DS, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
