In August Batman: Arkham Asylum was unleashed upon the gaming world and like everything Batman related recently, it did rather well. It sold over 2 million copies in it’s first week and it earned a spot in the Guinness World Records for the “Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game”.

With that sort of success a sequel was expected, and today it was announced that Rocksteady Studios were starting work on one. When movies get the green-light we have to wait months before we get any trailers or footage, however in the gaming word they can just whip something together like that.

20th Century Fox and Electronic Arts will collaborate to make an animated movie based on the game Spore.

I first heard about the game in 2006 and followed it up until it’s release in September 2008. It provided me with a few hours of fun, but overall I was disappointed. I was expecting a cool evolution game that would allow me to create a creature and take it from a micro-organism floating in the sea to a galaxy dominating beast. I got that, although it was all too cute and cuddly for my liking. To take over nearby tribes you could either sing to them, or thwack them with a stick, and they all had googly eyes. Although, I guess it was the cute and cuddly approach that helped create this movie deal.

From Variety:

Twentieth Century Fox has paired up with Electronic Arts to turn the publisher’s popular “Spore” game into an animated creature feature, with “Ice Age’s” Chris Wedge attached to helm.

Greg Erb and Jason Oremland, who penned Disney’s upcoming “The Princess and the Frog” and Ben Stiller pic “The Return of King Doug” at Paramount, will write the script for the “Spore” movie. It will be produced as a CG-animated toon by EA and Blue Sky Studios, which is behind the studio’s “Ice Age” pics, “Robots” and its next effort, “Rio.”

They’ve got a cool team behind it and the whole Spore concept is quite interesting so I can see myself seeing this, even if it is one for the kids. The evolution part will probably cause a bit of controversy when it’s released though.

If you weep at the thought of having to wait until 2012 to see a group of superheroes battling it out in The Avengers, then you will probably want to purchase Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2. It’s a sequel to the 2006 game and it contains just about every Marvel character you could want. There’s Iron Man,, Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, Storm, Deadpool, Hulk, Human Torch, Luke Cage and loads more. The game allows you to choose four characters to work your way through different levels and scenarios. Characters can combine powers, level up and even change their outfit.

Here’s the trailer:

The game is available on just about every gaming platform and will be released on September 15th. You can order the game by clicking here!

Avatar director James Cameron attended E3 and gave a presentation on the Avatar game. He spoke in-detail about the Avatar universe that has been created for the film and game, and reveals that they have been developing the game with Ubisoft for 2 and a half years in an effort to make it not “suck”. You can watch the presentation below!

It’s a shame our first real look at Avatar is via some game screen shots but at least it’s something! Hopefully we will get the trailer soon as promised.

A third trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum has appeared online. This is looking like it could be the best Batman game in the history of Batman games. In the game The Joker is taken to Arkham Asylum where he escapes capture and opens up the cells, releasing all the crazy inmates. Batman will have to kick all of their asses while trying to stop The Joker in the process.

The trailer for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game has clawed it’s way online, and you can watch it below. The great thing about games is that you can put a truck load of action into them that would cost millions to put onto the big screen. So while we probably won’t be getting half of these cool sequences in the movie, we can live them through the game if we wish!
