Botcon.com has revealed the next Beast Wars figure in the exclusive set to get a pre-beast form. Dinobot appears as a repainted Armada Hoist. The color scheme is based on the 10th Anniversary figure currently at retail now. The announcement made special note that there is no black on this figure and that colors may vary of different monitors.

 

IGN has posted 6 pages of Super Mario Galaxy screen captures. Many of them seem to be from the boss fight previously seen that surfaced around the time of E3.

   

Sideshow Toys has announced another exclusive for the San Diego Comic Con. Available for purchase only to attendees, will be a 1/4 scale replica of Dr. Doom’s mask and gauntlets. Items will be limited to 1000 and priced at about $90. The mask and gauntlets are made of metal and base is made from Polystone.

SoundtrackNET has many samples of the forthcoming score to Superman Returns, by John Ottman but based on the work of John Williams in the 1978 Superman.

I heard the Star Wars Episode III score before seeing the movie about this time last year, and I’m really amazed music like this holds up so well on its own.

Of course it helps that I love William’s Superman theme.

…

Ohh!  And the release date has been pushed up 2 days!  June 28 is the new day according to the official site! Hope my local IMAX 3D screen can accomdate this advance.  I want to be there at midnight on the 27th.

Spawn.com announced they’ll be rolling out toys (or figures or statues or whatever) based on the hit show “Lost.”

Charlie is the only one revealed so far, but the first wave will include Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, and the late Shannon.
Sawyer and Mr Eko will be in the second set, and The Hatch will also be represented in a diorama form.

I can only pray for some kind of sound chip for Sawyer so he can dole out one-liners and nick-names to other characters.

On May 25, Nintendo announced Wii would not exceed $250.
Today, they made it official: Wii will be $250 exactly.

WorthPlaying has a well of 35 new screen to the sequel to X-Men Legends 2.
Marvel Ultimate Alliace will pit 140 heroes from the Marvel Comics universe against Dr. Doom, Galactus and more. If that last sentence doesn’t make you want to at least play the game, just skip to the next article.
Multiplayer modes from X-Men Legends 2 return, and the customization levels go off the chart with the ability to re-create classic teams from Marvel’s past to make all new ones with your favorite characters.
The Official Site only has 14 characters revealed so far, but odds are you’ll be able to play as anyone you want. 140 is a lot of characters. You can also take a peek at the impressive trailer.

An ambitious mod of WarCraft III is being undertaken by Snowflake Entertainment to bring Starcraft a little more up to date.
Blizzplanet has a Q&A with the “Project Revolution” team.
The project is about 50% complete and they promise all the speed and fun of Blizzard’s neglected franchise. They’ve even got a mac programmer on staff to ensure it will work on OSX. (yes!) All you’ll need is to own the StarCraft and Broodwar discs, as this prevents violations of any intellectual property laws.
This should be some good news to fans since (though still unofficial) StarCraft: Ghost has been cancelled.
