With the success of Megaman 9 on most consoles as downloadable content, it seems Capcom is following up with another sequel to the Megaman series. Gametrailers.com has the debut game trailer for Megaman 10 coming out in 2010 with new Easy Mode!

In the days of the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast, the House of the Dead provided players with zombie-blasting thrills long before zombies became cool. Fast forward to now, with the Wiimote making it easy for light gun rail shooters to make a comeback of sorts, with games such as Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Dead Space Extraction. What better time for Sega to reintroduce the House of the Dead to the masses? Of course with the popularity of games such as Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising, Sega had to insure that the new HOTD game wouldn’t be just another ‘me-too’ zombie shooter (especially after Uwe Boll’s misguided attempt to squeeze a 90 minute movie out of a game that can be completed in 20, and the forgettable HOTD 4). What better way to do this than with Grindhouse-inspired facelift?

Fox may have kinda dropped the ball with X-Men 3: The Last Stand and X-men Origins: Wolverine. Theres a lot of reasons those films weren’t as good as the first two movies in the series, and more than a few people think is because they didn’t have Bryan Singer in the director’s chair.
But now he’s rounding up the usual suspects of apt pupils and he’ll return with X-Men First Class. This prequel film will cover the early days of Xavier’s School and give us fun times with Beast, Jean Grey, and Cyclops.
Bryan Singer casually announced his involvement on the red carpet for the Avatar premiere, which you can see on Ustream (its at 27:21 in the video). His exact words, “I just yesterday signed a deal to an X-Men First Class Origins picture”
Superhero movies seem so common now its easy to forget that Singer’s X-Men was the film that started the trend back in 2000.

Apple.com has the first official trailer for Iron Man 2 online.
You’ll need to have Quicktime, but considering its been a standard format for movie trailers for about 11 years, you shouldn’t be shocked. In fact you should be thrilled because its available in 1080p!
I’m sure some kind soul will upload it to youtube soon, or perhaps you’ll be able to actually see it in a theater in the next week or so.

Shownotes after the Cut!

Yesterday might have been considered a disaster for many fans trying to order items off of MattyCollector.com. No information was given for the error pages and ordering issues themselves outside of technical glitches, but Matty has just updated his facebook page with the following message:

SKELETOR UPDATE: To let all He-Fan knows, not all units of old bonehead arrived in time for yesterday’s sale. While this shipment of Skeletor sold out in record time, we’ve now confirmed more are coming (similar to Mer-Man back in April). Hopefully the remaining order will be here in first quarter 2010. As soon as we confirm they’ve arrived, we’ll post an update.

Mattel has a policy about not talking about specific numbers in their shipments, but this was information that needed to be distributed prior to noon yesterday. This was inexcusable.

A reminder to all Masters of the Universe Classics collectors! Burger King look-a-like King Randor (Club Eternia monthly figure), Teela repaint The Goddess (Bonus figure), and Skeletor (Reissue) will all go on sale today, Tuesday, December 15th, at noon, 12:00 EST. The figures are available exclusively at MattyCollector.com.

Reissue Skeletor features a softer loincloth for better leg articulation and a tighter grip on his left hand so he can grip his havok staff better. I believe his shoulders may have originally been reversed like the original He-Man and those should be fixed in this version.

In tribute to the Skeletor® from the 1984 line, a burst with “The Original” has been added to the front right corner of the package. The Skeletor® figure has the left hand corrected for “tight grip,” the face paint is improved, and the bio has been updated to include Demo-Man™.

Pictures of all three figures are after the break.
