Another day, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe (NDS/PSP/PS2/Wii/X360/PC)

Throughout the game's original story and thrilling battles, players are challenged to defeat and then join forces with notorious movie foes including Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Venom and Sandman, as well as others from the classic Spider-Man family of characters, and embark on a global quest to overcome an evil threat.

"Inspired by both the Spider-Man film trilogy and the classic Spider-Man comics, Spider-Man: Friend for Foe is a unique take on the most successful Super Hero franchise of all time," said Rob Kostich, vice president, global brand management, Activision, Inc. "For the first time ever in a Spider-Man game, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe features a unique co-op mode in which a friend can join the game at any time and take control of Spider-Man's sidekick as they battle side-by-side and replay favorite levels."

As the Spider-Man: Friend or Foe experience unravels, Spider-Man and his sidekicks unlock a variety of arenas and secret areas containing special tokens which allow players to revisit previously explored levels at any time as well as fortify their cache of collectables and power upgrades. Gamers can also replay levels as Spider-Man's darker, more mysterious persona, Black-Suited Spider-Man, and experience a robust Versus mode, with multiple arenas, where players match up any two characters and battle it out to see who wins.

Players can now experience heart-pounding action as they pursue monster trophy bucks across North America in places most hunters only dream of experiencing in a lifetime.

"With Cabela's Trophy Bucks, players set out to hunt record-setting trophy bucks in beautiful locales across the continent ranging from the Sonoran Desert in Northern Mexico to the Yukon Territory," said David Oxford, Activision, Inc. "Players will experience a wide variety of hunting missions for over 35 different species of animals in hunts that will challenge and entertain even the most seasoned outdoorsman in the most action oriented Cabela's hunting game ever offered."

Cabela's Trophy Bucks starts players off at the most critical and exciting part of each hunting mission where they will immediately be presented with a challenge.
