On Tuesday you can start swinging around New York City as the masked Amazing Spider-Man a week before the movie is due in theaters. Regular Battlefield 3 community members will also have a lot to enjoy this week, with non Battlefield 3 Premium members being able to get their hands on the DLC expansion pack Close Quarters. If you are still bored after Close Quarters then there’s also expansion to Skyrim, Dawnguard.
