Marvel 'Not Doing Crappy Movie Games Anymore'
by Nick Breckon, Aug 19, 2009 12:15pm PDTWith a spotty record of movie tie-in videogames, Marvel is hoping the well-received X-Men Origins: Wolverine becomes a turning point.

Games based on Iron Man 2 and Thor are currently in development. Marvel also recently signed a ten-year deal with Gazillion Entertainment to turn its superhero properties into multiplayer online games.
Rubenstein acknowledges that the first Iron Man game was not exactly a classic, but apparently feels confident in the sequel. Sega San Francisco--originally known as Secret Level--is again handling development duties. We'll see!
