Kotaku writes: In GameFly's weekly run down of top releases they show that while Grand Theft Auto IV for the Xbox 360 took the top spot and Grand Theft Auto IV for the PS3 took the number three spot, Iron Man managed to wedge itself between the two, creating a crunchy GTA sandwich. The game based on the movie was also the top PSP and PS2 rental last week.

PS3 Fanboy writes: Calm down, calm down. The waiting is finally over. The game you've all been waiting for finally gets unleashed onto the public this week. That's right, it's Iron Man week. What's that? Grand Theft who? Never heard of it. If that's your thing, though, you can pick it up on Tuesday. After you've seen Iron Man, that is. Here's the full release list: US Games: Grand Theft Auto IV Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition Iron Man EU Games: Grand Theft Auto IV Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition Iron Man Asian Games: No new releases

TVGB: SEGA has just shot over a little message letting us know that a demo for Iron Man will become available on Xbox LIVE tomorrow. PS3 gamers will have to wait for another day, as the demo is set to arrive on PSN soon, likely meaning next Thursday.

TVGB: ..more exciting is the inclusion of the Hulkbuster armor. Designed for exactly what its name makes it sound like, it was designed to stop the rampaging Hulk. Could this be hinting that the Hulk will make a guest appearance in the game?

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, Iron Man is really shaping up to be one great title. Everything we've seen so far looks very good. News from Sega came in today showcasing the different outfits available from the game. They've also made console specific outfits for both the PS3 and 360.

It's no mean feat powering up from being video game publisher No. 14 in 2004 to becoming the industry's sixth largest third-party publisher today. But Sega of America is tasting that success. Industry analysts credit its president and COO since 2005, Simon Jeffery, as the force behind the company's struggle to reinvent itself. In fact, come May 2, when the Marvel Enterprises-produced Iron Man blasts into movie theaters, Sega is counting on the day-and-date release of its video game version to inject even more life into what was once a very anemic portfolio. Historically, Sega hasn't been part of the license business, explains Jeffery. But we felt that in order to gain market momentum, we absolutely needed to have big game-appropriate movie licenses under our belt.
