    Summer Blockbuster Maximize Licensed Crap Profit

    Summer blockbusters don't just line the pockets of film studio executives and actors working on a percentage of the gross, it looks like they help resellers of licensed games too. According to a bit of research from the Video Game Price Charts blog—I've used them in the past when selling my unwanted games via eBay—the time to strike when selling your copy of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine or Iron Man / X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal is when the movie adaptations hit theaters.

    Iron Man Movie Does Fine Despite GTA Release

    Following the poor box office performance for movies released around the time Halo 3 came out, the film industry began to blame the major game release for causing the poor attendance rather than the poor quality of their films. Insiders began to speculate that the release of Grand Theft Auto IV would have significant impact on this last weekend's big movie release, Marvel's Iron Man. Well consider the whole video game versus movies theory shot down, as Iron Man earned an estimated $104.3 million this weekend including preview showings on Thursday, the second-highest grossing opening weekend ever for a non-sequel behind Spider-Man. I did my part, seeing the film twice over the weekend, and enjoying it immensely both times. Considering the fact that Iron Man is much lower on the public's radar than Spider-Man and the fact that GTA was a multi-platform release compared to the 360-exclusive Halo 3, we can safely assume that poor movie performance can still be blamed on poor movies.

    Iron Man Lives Again

    In case you haven't been paying attention, both the Iron Man movie and the game of the Iron Man movie are coming out tomorrow (or tonight at midnight), so you only have a few hours to complete your homemade suit of armor before heading out to the stores. Andrew Le already has his done, having painstakingly crafted this suit of armor in just six days.
    What the Armor is made out of is Poster board, what was used was Hot glue gun, masking tape and alot of paint. I started making it 6 days ago, and wanted to be best i can make it.
    So what drives a man to spend six days of his time to create this damn fine piece of work out of stuff just lying around the house? The answer, along with more pictures, after the jump. More »

    Iron Man: One Man Army

    The star-studded behind the scenes Iron Man action continues as Sega gathers Stan "The Man" Lee, John Favreau, Robert Downey Jr., and a cast of thousands sing the praises of the upcoming game, due out at the end of this week. There really isn't all that much more they can say at this point. Stan likes it. John likes it. I myself am mildly fond of what I've seen so far, while awaiting having the full game in my hands before I pass any sort of final judgment. I think we've seen just about everything we're going to see before the movie and game come out, so now we wait. More »

    Behind The Iron Man - The Armor

    Personally I don't know why Sega and Secret Level keep putting these things out, seeing as we already posted the definitive Iron Man video on Friday, but at least this behind the scenes look at the making of the game deals with what we can probably all agree is the best-looking part of it - the armor itself. Having played the demo some 20 times more over the weekend after my initial impressions, I can say that I am a good bit excited by the potential of the title again. I think I could find a great deal of fun in upgrading the armors and customizing the suit to my liking. I would have liked some cosmetic customization, but that wasn't going to happen. The game is due out May 2nd with the movie, and with my birthday May 1st, I shall procure it as a present for myself. That way if it isn't as good as I hope it'll hurt that much more. Woot!

    Talking To The Iron Man Demo

    You'll notice long periods of silence in this video of my play through of the Iron Man demo on the Xbox 360. Those were moments when I was genuinely enjoying myself enough that I forgot I was filming it. Despite said enjoyment, I'd have to say that if I weren't an Iron Man fan, I probably wouldn't have been moved to buy the game after a single play through. To controls take a great deal of getting used to, the bits that let you use special moves to take out vehicles and turrets are simply jarring interactive cutscenes, and I could certainly see Tony's running dialogue with his computer JARVIS (Just A Rather Very Intelligent System) growing stale quickly. You're watching my second play through here. On my third I actually took things slow, and the flight controls grew on me quite a bit. Oh, and you can upgrade a couple of the systems in the suit...just not the one I was attempting to. Not exactly overjoyed, yet not quite heartbroken either.

    Iron Man Demo Coming Tomorrow

    I was sitting here, thinking how odd it was that Sega hadn't released anything new on Iron Man today when the notification showed up in my email box - a playable demo for the game is will be available for the Xbox 360 tomorrow, with a PlayStation Network one coming soon. I'm both overjoyed and anxious about getting my hands on the game. It could be a wondrous experience, or it could suck completely. I suppose we'll know come tomorrow morning. While we wait, enjoy this video revealing what the demo has in store for us.

    Iron Man Voice Acting With Downy Downey Jr.

    Here's another in the series of the Victor Lucas narrated shorts for Sega's Iron Man video game, this time featuring the voice acting talents of a Robert Downey Jr. who seems to have a soft lining of goose down on his head, which they explain is for an upcoming role. He doesn't make a good blond, but he does make a damn fine Tony Stark. Even Stan "The Man" Lee thinks so! Listening to Downey Jr. read the lines, we can at least rest assured that the game will be a joy to listen to as well as look at. Here's hoping the gameplay follows suit!

    This interesting bit of concept art for Sega's The Incredible Hulk game just showed in my mailbox today. What do you suppose it means? You don't think that Hulkbuster Iron Man could make a cameo appearance in the game, do you? Probably just a coincidence. I mean, the Hulkbuster armor is appearing in the Iron Man game, so they're probably just using leftover artwork or something. More »

    Iron Man Unlockables In Action

    Dammit Sega, quit teasing me already! I've got it preordered, okay? I've read the novelization of the film by Peter David, I've got movie tickets for midnight on my birthday, I have several of the action figures sitting on my desk in action poses, and my desktop wallpaper is Iron Man pounding his fist into the ground, as he is wont to do. You don't have to sell me anymore. Yes, it is nice to see the unlockable armors in action, along with confirmation that each of them will have their own stats, but really...we get it. I'm telling you guys, this had better be the best damn comic book video game ever or I'm going to start biting people.

    Iron Man Unlockable Outfits

    I doubt many superheroes have had nearly as many costume changes as Iron Man has over the years, and Sega recognizes this fact by including several unlockable classic armors in the game. You've got your classic red and gold, the dull metal prototype version Stark crafted while in captivity, Hulkbuster armor, and even the Extremis suit, which a techno-virus infected Tony could keep inside the hollows of his bones. The extra armors are both a gift and a curse, however, to someone owning both an Xbox 360 and a PlayStation 3, as each platform is getting an exclusive. The 360 gets the Silver Centurion suit worn during the first Armor Wars, while PS3 buyers get the high-maintenance Ultimate Iron Man outfit. Right now I am leaning towards the 360 version, though I am sure once I hit the store I will break down into a tiny puddle of indecisiveness. More »

    Sessler On Grand Theft Box Office

    We've touched on the subject before and have even come to the same conclusion, but there's something charming about X-Play's Adam Sessler delivery of the material in this installment of Sessler's Soapbox. Perhaps the best thing about these segments is that this is exactly how a conversation with Sessler goes in real life, only with varying degrees of slurring depending on how late at night it is. I still remember the first time I met him, when he put his arm across my shoulders and said...um. Well I couldn't quite make it out. The point here is Sessler kicks ass, regardless of whether you can make out what he's saying or not.

    Iron Man Behind-The-Scenes

    Developer Secret Level displays a pretty firm grasp on the abilities of Iron Man in this developer diary for the game of the same name. It does an IM fan proud to know that the dev team, purchased by Sega specifically for this project, had to figure out a way to create gameplay that Tony Stark couldn't just waltz through. Not only do Secret Level and Sega understand Iron Man, they also understand that it isn't a real developer diary until it's narrated by Electric Playground's Victor Lucas. It's true!

    Sega Details Iron Man Upgrades

    Comic book character video games, even those based on comic book movies, love utilizing power upgrades as motivation to perform well, and nowhere is this nearly as appropriate as in Sega's upcoming Iron Man game. In a diary posted over at IGN today, Game Director Jeffrey Tseng explains how the upgrade system works in the game. Completing missions gives you cash, which I suppose is odd for a billionaire playboy, but we'll run with that. The better you perform, the better upgrades you can buy for your armor. Before each mission you can swap out various parts, much like your standard mech combat game...and I suppose that's what Iron Man is - a tiny mech. You can swap out repulsors, core systems, power cores, thrusters, and auxiliary weapons, allowing you to create a suit of armor well-suited to your armor needs. With multiple levels of upgrades available in each category, the Iron Man fanboy in me has actually caught on fire in anticipation of the game. I may even - given the opportunity - girlishly squeal.

    Iron Man Trailer Evokes Childhood Shame

    I recently was reminded of a time when I was little and would act out Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" song with a cardboard box over my head, pretending to be Tony Stark. This makes me question whether my excitement over the upcoming Iron Man film and Sega video game are because I am truly excited about the film version of Iron Man or if I am just relieved to have someone else dancing around robotically with his head covered in cardboard. Become my childhood shame sponge, Sega!

    Iron Man Keeps Pulling Me Back

    Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my new desktop picture. Granted you can't see it on my desktop due to my nasty habit of downloading single screenshot and video I receive directly to said desktop, but privative prototype Iron Man is rocking it somewhere back there. Another batch of six beautiful Xbox 360 screenshots once again have the comic book geek fighting with the video game skeptic in me, and right now the comic book geek is winning out - I would spend $60 on this game just to walk around in that suit for an hour. Sure Tony Stark is a millionaire playboy who treats women like toys and falls into bouts of rampant alcoholism. That armor shell allows him the anonymity to put aside his shortcomings and be something truly great. Imagine if we used the anonymity of the internet to do great things instead of call each other names! Yeah I know - "Keep dreaming, jackass." More »

    Iron Man In Action

    This game is going to disappoint me somehow, I just know it. Every new piece of art, screenshot, or trailer for Sega's Iron Man game - like this one from the VGAs - just raises my hopes higher and higher. Was that the black and red stealth armor I just saw? *squeals like a girl* Both the movie and the video game have my fanboy gland kicking into high gear, but not so much that I don't recognize the warning signs of a bad comic book game. First there is the over-dependence on desert and snow scenes. Then there's that one bit where he flies through the ring. I know it's just one ring, but that's one ring closer to Superman 64.

    Does Whatever An Iron Can

    Between the amazing movie trailer and these spectacularly shiny screenshots of the Xbox 360 version, 2008 could very well be the year that Iron Man gets the fame and recognition he truly deserves. How can they lose? They have a billionaire industrialist who has to find a way to balance saving the world in his high-tech armor with bedding beautiful women and getting drunk. Who can't relate to that? Now I'm sure I've seen these screenshots before, though Sega says they are new. Perhaps I am just having The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction flashbacks.

    Talking Iron Man with SEGA

    So the Xbox 360 Iron Man game looks nice. It's the first third party title that features online Xbox 360 vs. XP and Vista. SEGA's been getting movie assets for its adaptation, and stuff like that helps! But what about the movie? With names like Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson and Gwyneth Paltrow, Jon Favreau's Iron Man has a A-list cast. And hey, it was even produced by the kid from A Christmas Story! The SEGA team worked closely with Favreau on the title. "You can tell he [Favreau] plays games," says SEGA dev Kevin Boyle. Meaning he didn't try to use the controller with his feet or something. So how's the movie script? "It's really good," says Boyle. "I'm saying that as a fan of the comic book." Let's hope so.
