But here is the funny thing, look in the upper right hand corner of this tiny little pic of box art off the Gamestop site linked through the official game site for pre-sale...

But here is another copy of a 360 cover from the Target website...

Funny how doing research just continues to frustrate you even more.

I really, really hope the clerk was wrong when I reserved it, and it is Xbox Live.

Even if it has "Live" on the box it won't guarantee online play. It simply means it is "Live" enabled, which many games with no online play have on it. (Which could mean downloadable content, or it could mean nothing at all.)

It's happened plenty of times on plenty of 360 games.

 

[Nivek]

Any Xbox Games I have with the Live Logo indicates online play or heavy downloadable content. If it's not there, it's usually just play through console.

Thats why the logo being there or not on these new covers concerns me, especially given that when this game was being promoted up to a couple months ago, it stated that you could battle other players online. Most promotional cases do not have the Live logo, but the one on the gamestop site does.

And given my relationship with retail, I know the guy behind the counter may not always know whats going on.

LOL!

Has this game got an official release date yet? Every site I look at gives me a different date.

YES, I GOT A LAUGH, OK THAT JOKE IS A KEEPER(SCRATCHES JOKE OFF OF LIST)!!!up: ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE I THINK THE OFFICIAL DATE IS JUNE 3RD, BUT IT COULD COME OUT THE SAME DAY AS THE MOVIE ON JUNE 12TH, IT'S HARD TO SAY FOR SURE!!!

 

[Silver Knight]

Sad that Red Hulk wont be on PS3.

But who is this guy?

 

[Gamma Ray]

Has there ever been a good movie based video game?

 

[Nivek]

The THQ Punisher game (IMO) was better than the movie.

 

[HULKFish]

Sad that Red Hulk wont be on PS3.

But who is this guy?

That's Steel Fist or something? I think he was in the Thunderbolts or something???

The BIG NEWS is that Red HULK is only on XBox360!! Just got the email from Sega... I personally don't really care since I don't even know who he is and haven't gotten any recent issues of HULK. Gray HULK, even Smart Pantheon HULK would be cool!

 

[jadejaws]

It's Iron Clad.

 

[Silver Knight]

Cheers lads.

 

[Comikaze]

After getting yelled at from Comikaze about how these movie properties would be treated under SEGA... I feel good on saying I called it with Iron Man (IGN gave it a 3.8)

Feels good after all this time to say... na-na-nana-boo-boo.

On the other hand, this is making me really scared for old Hulk , oh please Edge of Reality. Don't like the Green Goliath suffer the same fate as his shell head amigo.

Strange from what i can tell people who've actually played the game with some depth said it was good,not crap. This game is hardly greast but its not crap either if anything its an average title. So better luck next time.

The Chronicles of Riddick

Spider-man 2 and (arguably) 3

To be fair, a lot of movie games aren't bad. They're just average or generic. Iron Man I understand the complaints with though. I had an extremely difficult time getting a hold of the controls. I hope the price goes down on this quick so I can grab it.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Personally, I don't really care about extra skins in a Hulk game, since the only Hulk I like is Savage Hulk.

 

[Obi-Ron]

Red Hulk isn't even Hulk!

Actually to be fair, most of them are bad. We let our fan side cloud our judgement to these things.

Edit: Either that, or you are how I am with movies only with games. I tend to enjoy most movies while others are overly critical. I myself, expect a certain something from my games, which movie games hardly ever achieve.

Edit #2: (Yes I am indeed calling myself overly critical, but as I said many times, for a few years I reviewed them for a publication, and when you are assigned to rip them apart it sucks the joy out of more simple efforts. I regret ever taking the position.)

Don't forget The Punisher game by THQ! It's so awesomely violent that certain bits are in black and white (too much red blood).

 

[Kirmit]

That actually looks pretty kool, though it'll probably be the last skin I use, Savage Hulk, grey hulk and WWH all come first.

 

[Nivek]

Concidering Red Hulk is probably [BLACKOUT]Doc Samson[/BLACKOUT] I dont really understand the use of a gimmick Hulk Clone as a skin. Might as well throw in Justin Hammer and the Rick-Hulk while they're at it.

i may be going crazy but anyone else think this looks a little like ty burrel ?
