K J Arcade 24: Web of Shadows: The Spider-Man Game That Let You Go Full Venom



In this episode, we swing back to 2008 and revisit Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, the dark, symbiote-fueled action game that let players choose between being the hero New York needed—or the monster it feared. With its high-flying combat, branching morality system, and Venom-infested city under siege, Web of Shadows carved a bold, memorable path in Spidey’s game history.

We break down what worked, what was wild, and why this game deserves more love. Whether you sided with the red suit or gave in to the black, join us as we explore the chaos, combat, and legacy of Web of Shadows.
