Today, let's have a look at that canceled tie-in Avengers game that got recently revealed!
Granted it was a bit too early in development to have a clear look at what the gameplay or style of the game would have been like.
We just know it was supposed to be based on the film (plot or just "universe"). It was a multi-console FPS for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It seems it would have featured online capabilities, co-op play and level-based progression for the characters.
Why was it canned? Well, THQ was going bankrupt, they had to let people go to save money. This game's studio was shut down, so the game got canceled and no other developer picked it up.
Gameplay footage was later leaked online from an anonymous source.
People are going crazy online just because it was canceled. But I fear that had this been actually released those same people would be the ones hating it!
It looked sort of awkward. I mean superheroes are all about the visuals. That's why the game hesitates to actually be a fully first-person shooter (in the above footage) and the camera pulls out at several occasion to showcase the heroes.
The game was looking nice graphically at least. I can imagine Iron Man would have been great to play with. But that's because of his shooting ability.
The more brawler characters might have been sucky to play with, kinda boring and repetitive I'd guess. Hulk and Thor would end up being the least fun characters of the bunch. (despite my love for them..)
Though Captain America could have been quite interesting.
Canceled game, yup. Sad to let such project go but we won't be really missing anything to be honest.
(does this confirm the Skrulls as the movie's main baddies btw?)

E3 NEWS! Trailers
With the E3 convention on, I thought it was best to start sharing some of the new (upcoming) games trailers.
FPS, platformers, beat 'em alls, fighting games, we got 'em all!
From sequels to adaptations...it seems original titles are making scarce with the time..
First up, to open up this thread, here's Duke Nukem Forever launch trailer!
The game is being finished by Gearbox Software:
Totally unexpected, here's a sequel for Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light. Once again by 4A Games/THQ.
Bethesda & Human Head Studios' Prey 2 has a brand new CGi trailer.
And we're now sure it's gonna be an open world game....ughh... another one? Looks so far off the original, couldn't they name it something else?
Activision offers another look at Spider-Man: Edge of Time. And it was goshdarn' time for it! :/
Behold the first appearance of Anti-Venom in a videogame!
How much time before they finally make a 2099-only game?
Konami released a new teaser hinting at a new mysterious Contra game!
Duke Nukem's "brother" series, Serious Sam is back!
In Serious Sam 3! Woot! Croteam is aiming for a September 30 release.
NeverDead.
I have absolutely no idea what this is. This Konami game, for Xbox 360 and PS3, looks like an anime-ysh Deus Ex in 3rd person.
The twisted American McGee's Alice is back!
In Alice: Madness Returns by Electronic Arts. The original game will be available on the same disc!
Here's the Tomb Raider reboot I refused to blog-post about until now.
This attempt by Square Enix to control and redesign the series is for the first time seen in motion...in a CGi trailer.
Seems like Square Enixis trying to sell us a completely different concept they just slapped the TR name over.
And finally (for now), the last trailer.
Namco's brand new Soul Calibur V. The gameplay debut trailer!
"Two mystical blades clash for an ultimate battle" for the 6th time! Looks like more of the same. They better fix all the problems and boring feel SC4 had...
