More info about the latest superhero to make the jump from comic book frames and into the big screen with this developer interview of Sega's Iron Man, the man in the suit that never needs ironing (okay, bad joke, but I had to do it).

In this video, Beejey Inriquez, assistant producer of the Iron Man game, reassures both comic fans and video game fans that the game will not disappoint, seeing as he's a comic book fan himself and is quite familiar about the discerning taste of those enamored with superheroes fighting the good fight in frames.

That in itself is very good news, as staying true to comic book canon (or at the very least, being faithful to it) is a good way to make a great game. [Well, some of us aren't canon purists, but yeah, even if an adaptation veers from canon, it should still remain true to the spirit of the comic book original we have all grown to love, right? - Ed.]

Beejey was tightlipped about the game's juicier bits, but he did reveal that the armor itself will be very customizable to fit anyone's playing style. He also said that the title is coming out for every next-gen console (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii), both handhelds (DS, PSP), and the unforgettable PS2 and PC.

Very good news indeed coming from Sega. Updates as we get them, so enjoy the video!

If you thought the Marvel movie and game craze is over after Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four did their numbers, you ain't seen nothing yet. 2008 will mark the big screen debut of Marvel mainstay Iron Man and like the other Marvel movies, he'll have a video game tied in with the flick. What you'll see below is an early gameplay demo with a walkthrough from the developers. Take a look:

The video features a lot of flying and busting done by industrialist-turned-armored-hero Tony Stark. Using Uni Beams and other weapons, he takes out power generators supplying electricity to a big laser cannon. It looks pretty fun beating on hapless humans in your cybernetic glory and it's building  up some anticipation for more on this title.

Activision used to do most of the development work for Marvel franchises but this time, it's Sega's turn to try its hand with Iron Man. The Japanese firm has purchased the rights to create the official game tie-in and this should give us some fresh nuances to the superhero line of gaming. Iron Man ships in 2008 for the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360 game consoles.
