As expected, the game tie-in of the anticipated motion picture Spider-Man 3 is getting tons of attention from game fans across all platforms. Game rental chain GameFly reveals that rental requests for the week ending April 27, have poured in for the game, topping all other titles across the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360.

The Nintendo Wii, however, is a different story. Super Paper Mario had something to say about who's boss around there and held Spidey to second place. The red plumber from Nintendo explodes across two dimensions with logic-bending gameplay to thrill audiences globally into joining him in his trip across eight worlds.

Spider-Man 3 on the other hand, flags next-generation special effects and tells the story of Peter Parker's dark side. Missions are playable with the classic wen-crawler and the high-powered symbiote-costumed version. Of course, Sandman, Green Goblin and Venom will all be there to stop you in your quest for a normal life with the lovely Mary Jane Watson.
