I've been playing the PS2 Iron Man game and I've really been enjoying it. You play through a mockery of the movie, they kinda made up their own plot and adventures which I actually preferred to trying to follow the movie. You unlock other Iron Man suits as you go long and can play through missions in any of them even before you've beaten the game, which is always fun. It also has a very deep philosophical point to it as one of the last lines of the game is, "There comes a time when a man must ask himself if he will step aside and let old age take him or if he has the courage and strength to stand up and be an Iron Man". I paraphrased that a bit but that's the gist of it. They play more into the role Ynsan, I don't know if that's the correct spelling, played in shaping the Tony Stark we know in the middle and end of the movie. It also shows more of what happened to Tony during the three months in captivity. Not in any missions mind you but in plenty of movie sequences which you can skip through but you can't skip through the minimovie things which bugs the crap out of me. Flying is also hard, you use the right analog to control left right up and down. You also use the left analog to control left right up and down. The only difference between is that the left is more sensitive and the right is less sensitive, however you need to use both to fly effectively at all. Needless to say the whole game is good but flying is hard.

I played the Xbox version of Sims2 at Batguy's place the other day and it was just one of those games that drags you in and all that jazz. It's ridiculous that such a stupid game could be so enchanting.

The fighting was so fluid and the graphics amazing. Mark Hamil is one of the scariest jokers every. Yeah they got the voice actors for Batman, the Joker and Harley Quinn from the old Batman cartoon set to a very noir setting. You'd remember it as the one with all of the nineteen thirties cars in it. I saw a couple of "missions". The game flows so fluidly that you hardly notice when it's the game and the movie sequence telling you what you're supposed to be doing. Detective vision is interesting but can take away from the game if you don't remember to turn it off. I think I would shell out the four or five hundred dollars for a PS3 to play this game, the extras such as character bios are so cool that it's completely worth it. You can get it on the 360 or on the PC as well, the version I saw was on the 360, but I don't think a PC could get the essence of the game through quite as well as a console. The only reason I prefer the PS3 is because of the minigames, or something along those lines, where you play as the Joker. Though I'm sure in time you'll be able to download it for the 360.

Add in the contents of a utility belt, a ton of 'Riddler Challanges' to collect, a plethera of different game scenerios, and a good storyline, the game has gotta be top 10 material.
