The Incredible Hulk - Video Game Review

The guys over at Worth Playing have a review of the new video game, “The Incredible Hulk” by Sega. Here’s a little snippet:

Marvel’s roll call of films continues with “The Incredible Hulk,” and right on its massive heels is the almost inevitable console adaptation. Sega’s new game is pretty fun for a sandbox beat-’em-up, but a slew of problems make much of the game feel as if it had just left the lab without having been tested.

Sega’s third-person city buster roughly follows the film while embellishing it with a few extra twists. To add a few more challenges to the main story, new enemies crop up as things unfold, including the scientific cabal known as the Enclave, a rogue Army officer, some new guy who is always giving missions to Bruce Banner, and a band of superpowered mutants. If you’ve seen the film, you’ll be in for a few surprises. If you haven’t seen the movie but are just a fan of the Hulk, The Incredible Hulk game manages to succeed in turning you into an unnatural force that nature and science can do little to stop … aside from the bugs.

More Transformers 2 Details Released

Roberto Orci, co-writer of Michael Bay’s upcoming sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, told SCI FI Wire that the movie will feature more of the giant robots and more of a science fiction storyline.

“The humor will be similar, but the structure of the movie is a little bit more like many sequels, which is, the stakes are a little higher and the tone is a bit more sci-fi,” Orci said in an interview at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on July 14. “It’s got a little more of a sci-fi element. … The bad guys are little more coherent in terms of what their plan is and what they’re attempting to do. So it feels more like more of a sci-fi battle.” Read more

Days Of Wonder Announces Exclusive Agreement With Diamond, Alliance

Days of Wonder, the publisher of top-quality board and card games, announced today an exclusive distribution agreement with Alliance Game Distributors and its parent company Diamond Comic Distributors.

Effective immediately, Alliance and Diamond become the sole distributor of Days of Wonder’s English language games to hobby retailers in North and South America. In addition they will also provide distribution to retailers and sub-distributors in the Pacific Rim region. Days of Wonder’s European subsidiary will continue to work directly with its current distribution partners in Europe, and these relationships remain unaffected by this agreement.

“This exclusive distribution agreement was the obvious next step for us in today’s economic environment. We expect the industry’s on-going consolidation to accelerate, and would rather lead than follow. More importantly, we believe this move will allow us to progressively deliver significant new benefits to our retail customers, in the form of Organized Play events and new in-store support and promotions.” says Days of Wonder CEO, Eric Hautemont. “By using Alliance’s expertise to manage all of our logistics and leveraging their sales reach to nearly every hobby game retailer, we can focus on the things we do best -developing games that consumers want and retailers find easy to sell. Just as importantly, for the first time, we now have real-time data on how all our products are doing in the marketplace. This will enable us to develop and deliver vastly better marketing and sales tools for our retailers, and will ensure we can manage our inventory better to prevent product shortages.”
