Got momentarily excited on seeing this footage of the upcoming Iron Man game. The first ten seconds or so look fantastic, and Mr. I. Ron Man himself is very nicely modelled. And then it gets very familiar very quickly and we remembered that this is, after all, a comic-to-movie-to-game adaptation and we all know how well they turn out. On the positive side, though, the game - and the missile catching in particular - reminds us very strongly of The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, which was one of the best superhero games on the last generation of consoles, so maybe it'll all work out for the best.

The game is due on every platform known to humankind in May 2008, and we're pretty certain the video footage is from either the Xbox 360 or PS3 version.
