Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions' PC version now has a set release date and, at it happens, an exclusive retailer at least here in the US. The game's official Facebook page has revealed that Walmart will be the only place gamers can get the PC version of the recent super hero action game from developer Beenox and publisher Activision. The game will be made available for Thankgiving weekend here in the US.

The Facebook page also states that the PC version will be released on November 24 in Asia and Australia and on November 26 in Europe. There's no word if Activision plans to offer the game via digital download as well.

Earlier this week publisher Activision released the action game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions for various consoles. However the publisher also sneaked in a notice in the official press release that the title will be coming to the PC as well. Big Download emailed Activision's PR rep who confirmed that the title will be released for the PC sometime later this this year.

The console versions from developer Beenox have been getting some solid reviews this week as gamers check out not one but four different versions of Marvel Comics' web slinger: the classic costume Amazing version, the black suited Ultimate version, the futuristic 2099 version and the pulp inspired Noir version.

While not as well known as the San Diego Comic-Con, the folks behind that July event are also the ones behind Wonder Con. This year's show in San Fransisco is being held next weekend and the show's event schedule reveals that one of their panels will be devoted to the newly revealed Spider-Man game from Activision.

The panel for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions promises to reveal a lot about the still mysterious game title from developer Beenox. The game itself is supposed to contain "unique, unexpected worlds Spider-Man will adventure through" and the Wonder Con panel will exclusively reveal new videos, screenshots and two new villains that will take part in the game. In addition to Marvel and Activision reps the panel will also have the voice of Spider-Man himself, actor Christopher Daniel Barnes (perhaps best known as Peter Brady in those goofy Brady Bunch feature films).

We got seriously jazzed up about going to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen thanks to last week's Super Bowl spot. The movie does look pretty fantastic. However can the same also be said for Activision's upcoming game adaptation? We are not so sure at this point.

Activision is trying to make a believer out of us by releasing the first five screenshots from the game which will be ported to the PC by Beenox Studios. We have to admit that the game does look very good from these shots and the promise of multiplayer action for the first time has also got us looking at the game more than once. Of course it's more likely it will be the typical forgettable movie game title. We will see.

In 2007, we believed a car could transform into a robot with the release of the first Michael Bay-directed Transformers movie. At the same time Activision released a game adaptation that was the typical movie-to-game product; completely forgettable and designed mostly as marketing for the movie.

Now IGN has the first word and the first screenshots from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the upcoming game that adapts the sequel film of the same name. Due out around the time of the film in late June Activision got its internal Beenox Studios team to handle the PC version. Unlike the first Activision Transformers game, this new title will add online multiplayer modes. That should at least add some more replay value.
