Marvel has announced a new animated TV series based off of the “Ultimate Spider-man” comics. Ultimate Spider-man will air on Disney XD in fall 2011.

The new series will chronicle the adventures of naive high-schooler Peter Parker as he comes to grips with his new powers.

Along with his new powers, the challenge for the young web-slinger in the new series is balancing his relationships with his friends and family and his super colleagues who can help him gain an understanding of his parent’s legacy and his destiny.

“‘Ultimate Spider-Man’ will be a unique journey exploring our favorite web-slinger as he teams up with other fan favorite Marvel Super Heroes in never before seen stories with a new life filled with great challenges, new friends, intense action and character growth,” said Eric S. Rollman, President of Marvel Animation.

Here’s the debut trailer for the new Spider-man video game, Spider-man Shattered Dimensions.

Rating: 4/5

Spider-man: Web Of Shadows has, I think, the best gameplay out of all the Spider-man games, with really nice combat and combo systems. You can upgrade your powers as you go along for both the red and black suits. The game also has a decent amount of cameos from other Marvel characters.

Rating: 4/5

Two things that make Ultimate Spider-man great: A: The ability to play as Venom. And B: The game is basicly the Ultimate Spidey comics brought to life. They did a fantastic job at capturing the look and feel of the comic. The game is even in continuity.

Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro is the follow up to 2000’s Playstation hit Spider-man.  While Enter Electro is nowhere as good as its predecessor, it’s pretty decent, with a nice selection of new villains like Sandman and Lizard. What makes this game great though, is the addition of the Create-A-Spider” mode, which allows the player to combine up to three different powers from the different unlockable costumes.
