My friends, welcome to the dawn of a new America--an America where Will.i.am can appear on CNN as a hologram. Seriously, holograms. The future is now.

While we were all waiting for the votes to come in, I passed the time by playing that new Spider-Man game, Web of Shadows. I have to say, I'm rather impressed. Shaba Games really nailed the controls, making it super easy to be swinging through the city and then start running up the side of a building and then attack a dude in mid-air.

That said, I think it could have used a few more months of polish. Playing on the Xbox 360, one of my mission objectives glitched out of existence. The music tends to skip while the open-world is loading from the disc, and I even encountered a hard lock-up. Some of the mission objectives can be rather generic, like kill X amount of this bad guy.

But that's okay, because I'm having a blast swinging through the open city, running up buildings, looking for those spider-shaped level-up orbs. It's like Crackdown, on crack. And if I happen to kill X amount of bad guys during that time, well, so be it.
