X-Men: The Official Game
Though the news may be only interesting for the top gamers, Electronic Arts, the biggest gaming company out there, has recently decided to overhaul their system of making games and, instead of always going for the next big franchise, the company plans to create games that will not only be unique to gamers but unique to them.
Though they supposedly already have this new operation underway, it is hard to pass up on the Superman franchise.
X-Men Official Game and Superman Returns Game
The release of Superman Returns and X-Men 3: The Last Stand this summer means added work for the gaming companies. In an attempt to make a bit of extra skrilla on the franchise, both Electronic Arts and Activision are working to ensure that it is their superhero game that gets remembered.
Therefore, Activision has recently put up the first official site for X-Men: The Official Game that offers screenshots, downloads and a game trailer.

Not wanting to be outdone, Electronic Arts have set up another official site for their own superhero game coming our way. Almost two months ago EA was able to impress gamers with the first video trailer for Superman Returns, which featured Superman as he attempts to stop a giant missile fired respectively by a giant robot.
This trailer can now be watch on the official site for the Superman Returns video game along with screenshots and the latest news.
