Iron Man knocks Grand Theft Auto IV off the top spot on the Gamefly Top Ten 'Most Queued' list. Not surprisingly, Mario Kart Wii continues it's reign at the top of the Nintendo Wii list, while PlayStation 3 gamers also have Grand Theft Auto IV queued up at the top.
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."

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.
The Iron Man video game has two strikes against it, by merit of being (1) a licensed product and (2) poised to be released alongside a movie. However, there are some benefits to the movie connection. Speaking to USA Today, Sega of America Senior Producer Mike McHale revealed that they had received the CG model for Iron Man himself created by Industrial Light & Magic for use in the film.
Directly from San Francisco and London, a double announcement arrives, from SEGA and Marvel, on an alliance for the production of a series of video-games with Iron Man as main character.
