Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Venom is the best take on the symbiote since my favorite Spidey game 28 years ago

Spider-Man.

It starts off with The Kingpin slandering Spider-Man on live television. Then it has Peter Parker donned in his iconic blue and red suit, infiltrating Doctor Octopus' hideout and laying waste to scores of his faceless goons. Later, the star of the show will rescue MJ from peril, and throw everything he's got at the likes of Sandman, The Lizard, Electro and the various other supervillains terrorizing the streets and sewers of New York City. 

One of those baddies is Venom, and that bastard is the most persistent and relentless of the lot. And while all of this might sound like scenes from Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man and its sequel, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, it is, in fact, pulled from the 16-bit glory days of console gaming almost 30 years ago.
