Spider-Man is generally a light-hearted hero. Always ready with a quip in the face of danger, he's known for his high-flying acrobatic antics. The newest footage from the E3 2008 floor, however, is decidedly dark and moody, with an atmosphere of dread and just a bit of squick. It's the latest trailer for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, and it's got no action sequences, just a lot of darkness.

We've seen the revamped combat system, and it's gotten us pretty interested in this title -- more so, we dare to say, than this piece, intriguing as it is. Who's behind this web infestation? Are those symbiotes running around? What's happened to the city? All these questions and more, in the HD version of the trailer, available now on Big Download.
