The Spiderman series have been milked for longer than the Call of Duty games were even popular. It's what Activision does.

Spiderman isn't a series though. He's a comic book character license who get's licensed out to whoever wants to make a Spiderman game or include him in one of their games. It's not really the same thing as COD.

They were good when they were on the PS2/XBox, but I really haven't played any Spiderman games since.

You forgot the best Spider-Man which is Web of Shadows. If it wasn't for the Camera, that game would be absolutely brilliant.....

I bet Rocksteady studios can turn the Spiderman franchise into a GOTY contender.

They're trying to milk Spider-Man, but unlike Call of Duty they quality is all over the place. CoD may not be great but at least the games are fairly consistent in quality. With Spider-Man, they range from "pretty good" to "disastrous," and as a result they are not nearly as "safe" a revenue stream as CoD. If Activision wants to milk Spider-Man they have to at least find a gameplay formula that people keep asking for more of. If anything, Transformers is in a better position for being milked, since at least pretty much everyone agrees that War for Cybertron kicked ass.

Spiderman has so much potential, unfortunately no one can seem to get it right. They need to stop making them goddamn brawlers and concentrate more on adventure.

Won't work until the license gets ripped away from Activision and goes to Disney where it belongs. Disney can then find talented developers themselves and make good games for once. Also to those saying Rocksteady, they are owned by Warner Bros. and Warner owns DC, so no way in hell are they ever going to touch a Marvel IP, which is a shame.:(

Spider-Man has a lot of potential, as seen in Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man, but Activision just doesn't care enough to bother. Spidey is a popular name, so as long as they ship something, it'll sell and that's all they care about.:?

It's the same thing with 007 games, why is Activision selling a simple HD port of a Wii title at full price? Some things are just mind boggling.:?

I heard that Activision is actually contractually obligated to release at least one Spider-man game a year to retain the Spider game publishing and developing rights.
