Spider-Man is coming to the PS4 later this year and its hero is bringing some costumes from his past with him. There’s been some speculation over the past two weeks about what special suits Spider-Man will be able to wear in the game. Today, Sony officially revealed the next suit that will be offered as free DLC to anyone who preorders the game from a participating retailer. People who go to see the next Avengers film may recognize it.

The Iron Spider Suit is the second of three costumes that will be given to players who preordered the game. The third preorder costume has not been announced yet, but it is expected to be announced this summer, probably during E3.

Spider-Man is coming September 2018 exclusively to the PS4.

Welcome back to Maniac’s Kitchen, where we cook and review lots of different food for gamers. Today, we’ll be sharing an original recipe you won’t find anywhere else!

Everybody loves tuna fish sandwiches but not everybody likes mayo. I honestly don’t like it very much, myself. After a bit of experimentation, I’ve found a great way to make tuna salad without mayo.

Here’s the full list of ingredients you’ll need:

  • A can of tuna
  • Bread
  • Onion
  • Celery
  • Spices
  • White vinegar
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Olive oil

The required cooking implements are pretty simple:

  • Knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Toaster
  • Spoon
  • Can opener

Let’s get cooking, shall we?

April’s Legendary Pokemon at Target Stores This Week April 23, 2018

Posted by Maniac in Game News, Site Videos.

Between April 22nd and April 30th, Target retail stores across the US will be participating in The Pokémon Company’s Legendary Pokémon distribution. Codes for Legendary Pokémon from previous generations are getting released every month through various means, and they can be redeemed in any of the four Generation 7 titles. The Pokémon you earn from the code depends on the month the code was distributed and what specific title you redeem the code on.

This is not an unusual occurrence, as codes for special Pokémon can get distributed by retail stores like GameStop. GameStop stores are small and it is easy to ask a game advisor for a special code if they have any. However, Target stores are huge and employ a large staff. Where do you go while you’re in the store and who do you have to ask? Well, we went into Target earlier today and got those answers.

Get your code now while they last. You can find out more about this event and keep up to date with the year of Legendary Pokémon right here.

Pokémon Sun, Pokémon Moon, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon are out now exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS platform.

Mind of Maniac – My First Con April 23, 2018

Welcome back to Mind of Maniac, an unscripted series where we discuss gaming related topics. When you break it all down, fan conventions are a great way for people to socialize with others who share similar interests. We’ve been attending conventions for over a decade, and with Con Season starting back up, I feel the time is right for me to tell the story of my first fan event. My first convention wasn’t E3 or a Comic Con, it was a Film Festival run by Kevin Smith. Buckle in, because this is the longest Mind of Maniac to date.

As we previously reported, we’ll be attending ConnectiCon 2018 in Hartford, CT this July. Hope to see you there!

Bill Nye The Science Guy, known for his attempts to save the world, takes a closer look at the game and explores everything you can do with it. If you’re on the fence about playing the game until you saw more about it, consider this a preview you should check out.

God of War: Countdown To Launch Complete Video April 20, 2018

I love when publishers host live launch events for games online. It’s a great way for fans and developers to celebrate the imminent launch of a highly-anticipated game and learn some behind the scenes information about its development as the clock ticks forward until midnight. However, since these events tend to start late and can happen at the same time a fan might be out getting the game, it is entirely possible to miss them.

Good news for anyone who missed last night’s God of War launch event or wants to rewatch it, the launch stream for God of War on the PS4 has been archived on the official PlayStation YouTube Channel. Enjoy.

In the future I’d like to see retailers like GameStop broadcast these live streams on their in-store monitors during midnight launch events. Every store has at least one big screen HDTV hanging up on a wall, why don’t they put it to use?

God of War is out now exclusively on the PlayStation 4.

God of War Countdown to Release Trailers April 17, 2018

We are days away from the release of God of War on the PS4, and Sony has been releasing a new behind the scenes documentary for the game every day leading up to its launch. Today, we’re going to highlight some of the best documentaries Sony has put out to date. First, let’s take a closer look at one of the game’s major enemies, the troll.

Now let’s take an in-depth look at something I’m really interested in. A lot has obviously happened to Kratos after the events of God of War III, a game people who completed it were surprised to discover he survived.

We will post up more videos as the game ramps up for release on Thursday night. Stay tuned for more God of War content throughout the week!
