It was first hinted at by a panel description for SDCC 2011, happening this weekend, but we now have a trailer to share and more information to be revealed at SDCC. THQ is bringing Voltron: Defender of the Universe to XBox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network. Retailing for about ten dollars, the game will feature 5 player co-op, 2 player co-op offline, and single player modes.

We will share more information as it comes out of the convention this weekend!

Sideshow Collectibles has posted a video to share some background on two of their upcoming releases in the GI Joe 12 inch action figure line. Zartan and Rock n Roll are featured along with a great look at some of their accessories and the designing decisions behind them.

Big releases this week include the new Captain America: Super Soldier game and Call of Juarez: The Cartel. Look for more after the jump and remember to purchase anything you like using the links below to help the site out!

TNT’s new show Falling Skies is great! It’s got the apocalypse, aliens, robots and Moon Bloodgood! It looks like it also has a lovely Army of Darkness reference. The show frequently references their Universe’s equivalent to Walmart as “Shop Smart”.

The name may sound familiar to some. The store Ash works at in Army of Darkness is “S-Mart” who’s motto is “Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart”. Coincidence or intentional reference? Either way, I imagine Noah “Doctor John Carter of Mars” Wyle would save a bit of time if Shop Smart sold a few “Boom Sticks”.

When you hear “John Carter of Mars” do you think of Noah Wyle’s character from ER getting his ass to Mars? Me neither, but here’s a picture that will make sure you will…

Until a few days ago I had not heard of this character, but after Captain Genius brought this to my attention at our forums, this sounds like a great premise for this upcoming movie. Here’s the trailer for Disney’s John Carter which is due to be released in March of next year:

The film is written and directed by Andrew Stanton who wrote and directed many Pixar movies, including Wall-E, so it looks like it’s in good hands.

John Carter fiction dates back to 1911 with A Princess of Mars which has John Carter, an immortal man, traveling to Mars to have great adventures. Here’s hoping someone, anyone, says “2 weeks” in this movie…

Moon Diver isn’t just a throwback to the days of old, it’s basically a time machine that takes you back to the good old days of video gaming. You (and up to three of your pals) take control of a super badass ninja and slash the shit out of everything in your way. The plot is your typical ‘save the world’ storyline you see often, but you’ll be too busy enjoying yourself to care. Just like all those old school titles, it’s HARD. Not like Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania thankfully, but it will give you a challenge. If you like classic side scrollers, please check this out. It’s even more fun if you bring along some buddies. There is even some downloadable content available for it as well. Oh yeah, if this looks a little bit like Strider, that’s because its director was Koichi Yotsui, who helmed the legendary Capcom classic.
