The official site has also been updated with a countdown until the teaser trailer hits theaters.

More_Than_Meets_the_Eye_(Part_2).JPGSuperhero Hype also reports today and tomorrow Transformers will be Shooting at the Hoover Dam, which many are speculating will be a homage to the classic Prime/Megatron fight in the second episode of the original Transformers series (pictured at right).
Also, some more set pictures have surfaced on flikr, documenting what appears to be a chase scene.



Marvel Ultimate Alliance Trailer and Contest

As previously reported, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is coming in Fall 2006 for the next gen consoles. We also mentioned that there was a trailer out. I managed to find it on YouTube and embedded it below.


The Marvel Ultimate Alliance site has also put up a contest for auditions. The winners will have their voice talents featured as Jean Grey and Bruce Banner in the game itself among other prizes.
From the site:

You can either enter right here on the site, or by mail. You’ll get all the details and rules by clicking this link: Click here to enter and get all the details!

As if being in the game wasn’t enough, our one male and one female Grand Prize winners will get an Xbox 360, a copy of the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance game, a poster signed by Stan Lee, a pack of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance playing cards and a trip to Los Angeles to record their lines and meet the producers.

The audition period will end on July 23, 2006. Be sure to get your entries in before then!



Brawl News: More Characters revealed.

brawl060706.jpgDirector Masashiro Sakurai revealed to a french gaming site that 1-2 non-Nintendo characters will be included in the new Wii version of Super Smash Brothers.
In addition, Bowser Jr, Wind Waker Link, and Ridley from the Metroid series are now confirmed fighters. He also confirmed Samus Aran and Zero Suit Samus are different characters.
In subtraction, The Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch, and Young Link won’t make the cut Brawl. Young Link is obviously replaced by the “Celda” Link.
Sakurai also mentions he wants a roster of about 40 characters, so with 14 confirmed characters from the announce trailer and today’s news, theres still a LOT room for new and returning characters. If I were a betting man, I’d be placing chips on Pac-Man and Sonic…

UPDATE: Many, many sites are picking up on this story now, but apparently its completely fabricated by a member of the GAF. That said, these are still 3 really likely candidates…



Civil War #2 Sneak Peek…again

Marvel posted a nearly identical page to the previous Civil War #2 Sneak Peak but this time included another video they posted to youtube. This is basically a recounting of what has happened thus far in the storyline and a sneak at what is to come. Warning: Minor Spoilers!



Mario Kart: Source

mksource.jpgAmbitious modders brought the original Half-Life conversion Counter-Strike to life, and it became the most played online multiplayer game of all time.
Now with tools for Half-Life 2’s Source Engine in hand, a new generation of modders is trying to recreate Mario Kart, Nintendo’s highly successful racer.

The Media Gallery has some highly polished models. And the Videos show off a little of Source’s physics engine applied to a kart.
Its a long way to go, and will hopefully end up better than GoldenEye: Source.



This Week In Halo

halo3doc.jpg First things first, Halo 3: Behind the Scenes is up. Its a 7 minute video documenting the process of creating the Halo 3 announcement trailer for E3, as well showing off the trailer in real time from multiple angles. The also confirm speculation that it is a Forerunner structure underneath the New Mombassa, and even acknowledge the frustrations of Halo 2 players when they reached the ending.IGN tries to go Beyond the Trailer buts ends up with little more than speculation and some editors on the verge of geeking out.
What is impressive: Halo 2 has reached Half a Billion Games Played on Xbox Live. Thats roughly 600 games a minute since the release in November 2004. Halo 2 on Vista will not however, use the Live Anywhere service or make matches with Xbox players. Surprised? Don’t be, that was a long shot.
Finally, theres a Halo Graphic Novel Sneak Peek with a few more pieces of artwork. The full book is slated for release July 12.
