Sega has released some new information about Iron Man 2, the new Iron Man game being developed as a tie-in for the next Iron Man movie. It's a tie-in, but it won't follow the movie too closely. Instead, writer Matt Fraction will be taking a middle ground approach by drawing from both the movie and comic book universes, both of which he has been involved with. More after the jump.

Ok, first I hear that Tricia Helfer's lending her talents to Spider-man: Web of Shadows. And now I hear it's going to have - no, not just a Wolverine, but a symbiote-Wolverine! (Oooh boy, another "oh my god" moment! - that's sym-Wolvy in the thumb on the left) Check out the full article for a video interview that sheds light - and a whole bunch of darkness too - on the story of Web of Shadows.

From Forza 3 requiring two discs to Marvel's Ultimate Alliance 2 happening during the Civil War story arc, these are the tidbits of info we've had to contend with today, and they all have a rumor tag on it. Intellisponse, the company that appears to be responsible for the leak, has replied, though not in the way we might expect. Learn more after the jump.

We've got another update for the mean, green, and angry machine, The Incredible Hulk. This time, we get some eye candy from the DS, PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions and more details regarding the upcoming video game from Sega, Edge of Reality (consoles), and Amaze Entertainment (handhelds). Check them out at the full article.

Even though Electronic Arts and Marvel Comics announced that they have plans of making a new fighting game franchise that would follow Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects, it seems that we won't be seeing these plans into a reality. Marvel has just announced that their deal with EA has been terminated. Details of this event in the full article.

If you're a fan of the Marvel Comic turned film Ghost Rider, then this should press all the right buttons. Marvel's comics has an underlying element to them: death, destruction, and of course bad guys; and Ghost Rider has these in abundance. Riding around on what appears to be the devil's motorcycle as a devilish being and slashing through your enemies with your firepower (literally) cannot be beaten - especially when all of these can be achieved on a portable console.

The Ghost Rider trailer shows off the game's impressive fighting and riding modes, some heavy metal music and some amazing graphics - including an array of brightly-colored fighting moves in both CGI and real time gameplay. Riding the motorcycle might remind some of you of the classic PSX game Road Rash, with a slightly more hellish theme. You get to use a fiery chainsaw to know your opponents off their bikes, and if you have played Road Rash then you'll know that it's quite fun.

Caution: This trailer contains loud music, even louder sound effects, and an element of hellish demon-slashing

"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" from 20th Century Fox and Marvel Comics is the sequel to the 2005 movie Fantastic Four. The actors reprise their roles and new faces will grace the series. Silver Surfer and Nova debuts in this movie.

In the trailer, we see an uber cool aerial chase between the Human Torch and the Silver Surfer. Since we still need to do some waiting to do for the actual movie (US release is June 15), you can watch the trailer at the link below. The trailer is available for download for the PSP, iPod Video, and Zune, among other portable video players.

The Silver Surfer is an intergalactic herald for Galactus, a powerful being who devours worlds. He arrives on Earth and does so in the worst of times - during Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) and Sue Storm's (Invisible Woman) wedding. That's the least of their problems as their arch nemesis Dr. Doom returns to do what normal villains do: get revenge and laugh maniacally.

It's been a while since we had any updates on the Marvel Trading Card Game, so it's good to hear that all of the features we mentioned before - including the lineup of Marvel Comics characters - are still in the game. Cross-platform play between the SP and PC is still in, and DS owners can still use Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection to play against other players online. Local multiplayer is also a go for the DS and PSP.

Also in the works is an online store where you can purchase new packs from the latest Marvel trading card game series. The online store will also let players post cards that they would like to trade.

Interested? We've got a couple of new screenshots from the PSP version of the game. Check 'em out below. PSP owners will get their hands on this title on February 27 for a suggested retail price of US$ 29.99. The Marvel Trading Card Game will hit DS and PC platforms on the same month.

 

He's got some cool boots, that's for sure! As we get closer to the release of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Activision is spearheading their promotions with some of the most famous characters in the Marvel Universe. In this case, there's only one perfect time to preview the brawling mass of half-naked, butt-smashing rock, and that's clobbering time!

For this quick preview trailer, The Thing battles other things, like burning things, and humanoid cat things, and aliens-stuck-in-web-things. Of course, he gets to show them all who's the King of all Things! Funny how his pants never get ripped or burned, and you never see sticky webbing on his boots. That just goes to show you how great he is!

Have fun watching, and expect to hear more about this brawler for the PSP, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii in the coming weeks.
