Give the gift of super hero abilities this holiday

Everybody wants to be a Super Hero, whether it's to battle evil and save the world or just to have a little fun. Young and old dream of having abilities like web-swinging, superhuman strength, amazing speed, extraordinary endurance, incredible agility, and quick-as-lightning reflexes.

This holiday season Activision, Inc. is giving kids of all ages the chance to experience their Super Hero fantasies in two exciting video games featuring the most popular Marvel character of all time, Spider-Man, who is featured in Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Man: Friend or Foe.

Relive Blockbuster Action

Based on Columbia Pictures' feature film, Spider-Man 3 lets gamers play as Spider-Man as well as his darker, more mysterious persona, Black-Suited Spider-Man. Set in a larger, dynamic, free-roaming New York City, the game delivers multiple movie-based and original storylines, fully integrated city missions and performance rewards including improved speed, combat maneuvers and agility.

And released just in time for the holidays, Spider-Man 3 on the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system gives players the freedom to choose their gameplay experience and play through the all new Conquest Mode.

Heroes and Villains Unite

Taking inspiration from the "Spider-Man" film trilogy and the classic Spider-Man comics, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe brings together Super Heroes and Super Villains as they embark on an epic quest to overcome a worldwide evil threat. The game also features, for the first time ever in a Spider-Man game, a unique co-op mode letting a friend join in on the action at any time and take control of Spider-Man's sidekick while battling through the game side-by-side.

Spider-Man 3 is rated "T" ("Teen" – Animated Blood, Mild Language, Violence) for the PLAYSTATION3 and PlayStation2 computer entertainment systems, the Xbox 360 video game system from Microsoft, Wii home video game system and PC and is rated "E10+" ("Everyone 10+" – Cartoon Violence) for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is currently rated "RP" (Rating Pending).

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe is rated "E10+" ("Everyone 10+" — Cartoon Violence) for the Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation2, the Nintendo DS, PSP and PC.
