Remember that Spider-Man 3 movie that came out a few months ago? Remember how every single platform received a game to coincide with the movie's launch? Well, except one. Sony's very own PSP. Months late, the Spider-Man 3 video game is finally ready to release on the PSP, and it includes a few extras for those that were foolhardy patient enough to wait.

Noted as the "first fully-streaming Spider-Man environment for the PSP system," the game now adds an exclusive Conquest mode, where players must complete mission by dawn. If successful, players will earn Hero Points, which allow them to upgrade and customize their Spider-Man skills.

The game is supposedly heading to retailers today, albeit amazon.com lists next week as the release date. Honestly, if you've been waiting this long, another week isn't seemingly going to make much of a difference, huh?

Every week, PSP Fanboy brings you new backgrounds to rejuvinate the look of your PSP. Remember, you can save these images directly to your PSP by accessing the site wireless at m.pspfanboy.com. The fan requests, we've been doing lately have proved to be very popular, so this week there's another set of fan requests fulfilled. Continue on to find out if your background request has materialized into the real thing.

Backgrounds after the jump ...

Games based on movies tend to launch on every system imaginable. So, why is poor PSP not receiving its own version of Spider-Man 3 this week? Every other console is getting its own version, from PS3 to GBA. Considering how many games appear cross-platform, it should be easy enough to port the PS2 or Wii version to PSP.

Unfortunately, PSP owners wanting some portable Spidey action will have to wait until later this year. Gamestop has a release date set for November--in time for its DVD release?

There hasn't really been much info on any version of Spiderman 3 other than the next-gen ones. That's all changed now because IGN has an interview with Vicarious Visions (the developer of the PSP version). Here is what the PSP version will offer:

• Free roaming city gameplay
• Will have Morbius and Shriek story arcs (not available on the PS3/360)
• It is built from the ground up to control well on the PSP
• You can switch between black and red suit Spiderman at whim (not available on the PS3/360)
• Playing in the black suit causes crime to rise and public perception to be negative
• On the plus side, the black suit gives you extra speed and power
• The game will have unlockables not found in the next-gen versions

Given all these facts it looks like the PSP version of Spiderman 3 will be a worthy version. In fact, some multi-system owners may have an issue choosing which version to get. What system will you be swinging with Spiderman on?

When Sony Pictures is the one putting out Spiderman 3, I wasn't shocked when I heard the PS3 version would have an exclusive 2nd playable character (new Green Goblin) and collector's edition behind the scenes videos. It only makes good business sense for Sony to leverage their film division's biggest property to help sell PS3 versions of the game. One thing I haven't heard yet is what exclusives will the PSP version have?

Now, some may assume that since nothing has been announced yet, there may be no exclusive content. That's unlikely however, since Sony will undoubtedly want extras on PSP as well. Besides that, every multi-platform game that comes to PSP has to have extra content for Sony to approve it (which is why sometimes the PSP versions of ports are better than their console brothers). So what exclusive content would you like to see in the Spiderman 3 for the PSP.

Ronald McDonald versus Hamburglar.
Strider versus Spider-Man.
Jill Valentine versus Nemesis.
Jason versus Freddy.

These dream fights have been created in WWE Smackdown's extensive character creation mode, and can be seen in their full glory at Siliconera. For those of you with the game, have you been able to create any truly special characters?
