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.

You Got Iron Mans In My Incredible Hulk

Hulk Wii Screens - No Comment

Now Sega has released screenshots for the Wii version of the game, and I hesitate to say anything. I could piss off Wii fans by complaining about the blocky scenery, blotchy textures and overall lack of detail, but I won't do that, because I don't want to piss anyone off. If Sega wants Wii Hulk's skin to look like a green corpse with similarly verdant blood-marbling, then more power to them. Go Sega go! More »

With my Iron Man excitement gland working overtime lately, I've not paid much attention to Sega's other upcoming Marvel movie video game, The Incredible Hulk. Remember how awesome Radical Entertainment's The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was? Well apparently developer Edge of Reality does as well, as Sega's Incredible Hulk features the same sort of open-world gameplay with film-centric events wrapped around a symphony of destruction on a scale only the Hulk could conduct. You can use cars and such as weapons, participate in mini-games, and build up your rage to learn more powerful moves. Just ignore the movie connection and consider this a very pretty Ultimate Destruction 2. More »
