The Tuesday letters page hears a strange story about Marvel’s Spider-Man, as one reader tries to stay optimistic about the Silent Hill rumours.

Late rival The year is starting to slip away from us and it’s pretty obvious that the best game so far is Elden Ring. You may not personally think that but if all the game awards were done right now, I would bet a considerable amount of money on the fact that it would win best game.

It isn’t even close really, with nothing else coming close, and there’s really only one contender this Christmas: God Of War Ragnarök. Now, I know nobody can actually know if it’ll be better, but Elden Ring got a lot of 10s for its scores and so did the last God Of War, so you’ve got to imagine it’ll be close.

I’m one of those that doesn’t actually think Elden Ring is From’s best game so it’s easy enough for me to imagine it being overthrown at the last minute. The two games aren’t really similar or anything (although they’re not polar opposites either) but I don’t know. Add in recency bias, given Elden Ring came out so long ago now, and I think God Of War could snatch a late win.Binz

The Raiden effect I have a theory why we have not been shown much gameplay of God Of War Ragnarök. Could we be in store for a Metal Gear Solid 2 style switcheroo? I wonder if Kratos is not the main playable character and in fact you play the game as Atreus or even Thor.

Perhaps Santa Monica have taken some archery tips from Guerrilla Games. This is based on nothing but a random thought that popped in my head, no NDA broken here.ThePowerFeeling (PSN ID) PS: Free DLC for the excellent Toem is available now and adds a whole new location.
