Superman Returns

Superman is a gamer, wears a Warcraft t-shirt and he's dreaming of a role in the World of Warcraft film. When we say Superman we, of course, are referring to Brandon Routh, star of Superman Returns and the latest actor to play the Man of Steel on the silver screen. And though his future in tights has been in doubt since that mediocre film’s release, that doesn’t mean he can’t imagine being a blood elf instead of a Kryptonian...

Link's latest Legend of Zelda adventure for Nintendo DS debuts at No1 in Spain and Germany, and at No2 in Sweden. FIFA 08 makes three entries in the Spanish chart and two in the German top ten. In Sweden, Football Manager for PC tops the league. While PC titles dominate the German and Swedish top tens, the Spanish chart has a distinctly console, specifically DS, flavor.

Monday 16 October 2006 We've been waiting for Superman since he missed his original date with the consoles back in June and now, finally, EA has provided a Daily Planet's worth of Xbox 360 shots to remind us he's still out there. Delayed so that EA Tiburon - the creator of the Madden American football series - could get its heads around making the most of the game's massive Metropolis and supercharged hero, we're quietly hopeful that it's cracked it... if only because Supes has suffered some

Electronic Arts will ship Superman Returns: The Videogame, licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, on November 20. The game, which features storylines from both the Warner Bros. Pictures' film Superman Returns and more than 60 years of DC Comics' content, is being developed by EA's Tiburon Studio in Orlando, Fla., the award-winning studio that develops Madden NFL football, the most popular sports franchise in videogame history. Superman Returns: The Videogame is the ultimate open-world super-hero experience and will be released on the Xbox 360, as well as current generation platforms.

Thursday 21 September 2006 After being sucked into the black hole of release day delay for what seems like months - because it is - Superman Returns, the all-action tie-in to this year's so-so superhero movie, is back in a great batch of screens, showing off some new enemies and more of the Man of Steel's epic ruckus with the skyscraper-tall Metallo. We're puzzled though, because for all that time in extended development - the game was originally due to launch alongside the film earlier this

For comic-book fans, the name "Superman" means many things: selflessness, hope, indomitable strength. For gamers, though, it simply means "run." As in, "run away from the video-game store until the menace passes safely into bargain bins." So as you can imagine, Superman Returns has a tough row to hoe. Not only does it carry the stigma of being a movie-licensed game, but it also bears the name of a hero who hasn't produced a decent game since 1988's Superman arcade game. Even so, what we've

EA has released a trailer and fresh details about its Superman Returns game, which will accompany the summer release of the Warner Bros. film. The trailer has Superman battling the evil Metallo in the streets of Metropolis, which will comprise 80 virtual squares miles of bustling fictional city, including over 1,000 buildings. The Man of Steel will be able to explore all of this freely as he protects the city's people from natural and not-so-natural disasters. If it looks a little too gorgeous

Electronic Arts has unveiled a single supershot of Superman Returns, the superhero action game based on the Man of Steel's return to the big screen. The film Superman Returns is being directed by Bryan Singer, who did a superb job of bringing the X-Men to the big screen. The story sees Superman returning from self-imposed exile to find that Lois Lane, the love of his life, has moved on, while old foe Lex Luthor is up to his old Metropolis-threatening tricks.
