However, things have shifted a bit in recent years, with Osborn apparently turning over a new leaf as not just a nice guy, but also Peter Parker's boss - and most recently, as the superhero known as the Gold Goblin (a name given by the press that Norman himself dislikes).But there's quite a lot of mileage between Norman's 1964 introduct

    The Devil in Me is brilliant. It's frustrating. Slightly irritating. Grating. Shocking. Boring. Exciting. Amazing. And terrifying. It has more ups and downs than the 1893 Chicago World's Fair ferris wheel, and packs more jump scares than a mid-2000s horror flick. It is the fourth and final installment of Supermassive Games' The Dark Pictures Anthology season one, and, for my money, it's the best and most accomplished of the lot so far. It's far from perfect, but The Devil in Me achieves what it
