I thought the game had a weird "Web 2.0" kind of name when I saw it:

"New! Super Mario Bros.Wii"  The "." between Bros and Wii was throwing me off until I realized that it was simply used to abbreviate "Brothers."

In other news, I have been playing Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.  I recommend it.  Here are my expanded thoughts:

If you like Superhero games or Free Roaming Large City type games, then you will like or love Web of Shadows.  The combat system makes it much easier than previous games in the series to actually hit the bad guys with those awesome Spidey moves.  The voice of Spider-Man is quite terrible at the start of the game, but seems to get better as it goes along.  There are 2000 "hidden" collectibles in the game to collect.  I have about half of them.  Because there are so many, you can pretty much always see one if you look for them.  I'm not sure how hard or frustrating it gets as you start to run out of them though.

In summary- It's a compelling play.  Regardless of all other factors that weigh into the final score... I find myself turning it on whenever I get the chance.  I had 10 minutes to wait for my wife and I actually booted it up, beat 3 or 4 baddies and collected 5 or so of those darn collectables and felt like it was a good usage of my time.

The end.
