Superman/ Batman On Your Mobile

sbheroes_handango_screenshot_1_150x200_12kI’m not much for gaming on mobile devices at all. I’d much rather play my Xbox 360 rather than suffer through a tiny screen and inferior graphics.

I can’t deny though that I’m amazed that games can now be shrunk to the size of a handheld device that only a few years ago took an entire console to mimic. One of the latest mobile games caught my eye though – Superman/Batman: Heroes United.

It has you playing the titular DC heroes, fighting in Apokolips, Metropolis and Gotham along the way, as  well as against baddies Darkseid and Metallo.

You can read a review here and here.

Watchmen Viral Video

The landmark comic maxi-series from the mid 1980s has officially become a film. Despite lawsuits between 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. over actual ownership of the rights, it’s now been legally decided that the film will get a release. Yay for that! I didn’t want to have to pick up a dodgy bootleg of the film at some convention. Released on March 6, the troubled adaptation, directed by Zack Snyder (300) will be exciting, hopefully. Below is a clever viral video (it’s all the rage these days) focusing on a 1970 NBS Nightly News broadcast celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dr. Manhattan, the only true superhero in the Watchmen world. It has a fantastic authentic feel and really helps sell the film.
