Making a game based on one of the most anticipated movies of the year and one of the most iconic superheroes of all time can build a lot of pressure. Activision tasked developer Treyarch (Call of Duty 3) to make the upcoming Spider-Man 3 game for multiple platforms. Add to the mix the fact that Spider-Man 3 will be the first next-gen game for the webslinger, and you're looking at a lot of pressure.

GameSpot News talked with Chris Archer of Treyarch about the upcoming game at the Spider-Man 3 preview event in San Francisco.

Microsoft invited GameSpot News down to the fancy Clift Hotel to get a hands-on look at the upcoming PC and Xbox 360 game Shadowrun. Here, Tim Surette sits down with the general manager of FASA Studios, Mitch Gitelman, to talk about the game and its unique features. Mitch loves to make games and he loves to talk about Shadowrun.

It took some doing, but we squeezed in this conversation with Supreme Commander designer Chris Taylor. Thanks, Chris, for stopping by. Best of luck with the game.  - Curt Feldman
