War is approaching…

Starting tomorrow the Marvel Universe is going to war. Marvel has been kind enough to post a video to bring everyone up to date (without giving much of anything away) and give us a tease of what is to come.

From their site:

Civil War #1 is less than one week away. You will need to decide: whose side are you on? Are you ready? Marvel wants to make sure you have all of the facts and have been exposed to all of the events leading up to this monumental event. Check out this video prequel that catches everyone up on the events of the last two years. Events that have haunted the heroes. Events that have turned the tide of public opinion. Events that have rocked the Marvel Universe to its core, leaving it vulnerable… to war!

No sooner do I make mention of a tiny, tiny snippet of footage getting into a Coke commercial, a real new Superman Returns trailer is online.
Fire up your Quicktime, theres high-definition, streaming, and iPod download versions.

The one time GameCube exclusive is being sent to another platform.
Resident Evil 4 will be released to Windows PCs in May courtesy of Ubisoft. The game appears to be a port of the generously expanded PS2 version, with the “Seperate Ways” campaign, extra costumes, and more weapons.
While its easy to make the arguement that the PS2 port of RE4 didn’t look quite as good as the GameCube original, I look forward to seeing what the game looks like on a high-end PC. Ubisoft has done some really graphically amazing games the last couple years, so I hope there are some enhancements and this isn’t just a straight port.
But if it is a straight port and this is your first chance to play this game: get off your butt and do it. Its as good as everyone says it is.

Voting has closed for the Four Horsemen‘s FANtastic Exclusive poll for 2006. It ended a bit early but the answers to the polls were not in question.

People want a wider release than a San Diego Comic Con exclusive.
They don’t want to have to be members of the forums to be able to purchase the figure.
The Four Horsemen need to pursue other avenues to put this product out to the masses.

The Four Horsemen are now following up on all the polls they’ve taken and seeing how to follow through with the results of these polls. This exclusive this year as voted by us in an earlier poll will be the 7th Kingdom: Minotaur. It looks to be a promising figure. Hopefully we’ll get the wider release we voted for.

On a related note, here‘s a day by day update on the progress of the figure.
