Marvel Comics

Last week Sega officially announced the video game version of the upcoming Marvel film Thor. Despite the history of the character and the rising hype for the film, the news was met with a rather lukewarm reception. The less than stellar reaction wasn’t too surprising considering Sega + Marvel Comics + movie games = Iron Man 2: The Video Game. Nuff, said if you ask me.

Last week was amazing if you’re a fan of TRON since the San Diego Comic Con served as the source of an overflowing amount of goodness.  Not only was there a panel with the TRON: Legacy cast, but a new 8 minute clip was shown along with a new theatrical trailer that was simply awe-inspiring.  Now the TRON hype machine continues to blaze down the Game Grid with the announcement of TRON: The Betrayal from Marvel Comics.

Last week a rumor surfaced that Capcom would announce Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in the near future. While from a reliable source, many still called into question whether or not this would happen. With the Marvel franchise thought to be tied up in a web of legal issues due to Disney’s acquisition, MvC3 was thought to be a pipe dream of sorts.

In the wake of the amazing Batman: Arkham Asylum many wondered what Activision’s Spider-Man franchise would do next. For the past few years everyone’s favorite neighborhood Spider-Man hasn’t exactly had good luck when it comes to games.  Spidey’s last outing, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows was rather horrific due to awful voice acting, run-of-the-mill gameplay and headshaking QTEs.  Now Activision has released the premier trailer for Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, a game which is slightly intriguing at this point.
