Developer Beenox Games is on its fourth Spider-Man game, after having previously worked on such titles as Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, and Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Each of the previous games received increasingly higher review scores - so there's an assumption that the IP is becoming old hat for the developer.

This is not the case, as studio head Dee Brown related in an interview with Gamasutra. If anything, there's more pressure for their next game, The Amazing Spider-Man, to be a success.

Last week saw a handful of new releases but Xbox 360 racer Forza Motorsport 4 left the rest of the UK all format chart in the dust as it launched first place.

FIFA 12 came second with sales down 62% in its third week. Just Dance 3 entered 3rd, PES 2012 5th, and Beenox's Spider-Man: Edge of Time came 39th.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time will have Val Kilmer filling the shoes of Walker Sloan, the game's major time-traveling antagonist. In the year 2099, Alchemax scientist Walker Sloan seeks to gain power and fortune by traveling back in time to the present day in order to use his knowledge of future technology to found Alchemax much ahead of time. This causes the future of 2099 to change to a dystopia where Alchemax rules the world with an iron fist.
