Alongside an Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) directed, Michael Cera (Arrested Development) starring film adaptation, Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic sensation Scott Pilgrim is also set to become a video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal (TMNT).

O'Malley expects the game to be a side-scrolling game that embraces the cartoony aesthetic of the comic instead of the film's real-life look, reports IGN. No platforms have been confirmed. The comic's fifth volume included pixel art mock-ups of a game on its back cover, though there's no word as to if the actual game will resemble them.

"There's this Ninja Turtles game that came out a couple of years ago based on the recent CGI film, and the Game Boy Advance version was really cool," O'Malley said in a chat with Comic Book Resources. "A lot of the same people that worked on that worked on this game, so it should be cool. Hopefully some of that will rub off on this."

The whimsical six-part comic tells the tale of the "so awesome" Scott Pilgrim as he falls for the aloof Ramona Flowers and must defeat her seven evil exes amidst a non-stop barrage of references to video games, both classic and obscure, plus other bits of nerd culture. The final volume of the comic, the film and the game are all expected in 2010.

Not a fan of Ghostbusters or Ico? Haven't conducted a fun-filled micro-transaction in months? Marvel is here to save the day with several superhero-themed Sackboy costumes for LittleBigPlanet. The content--which consists of Wolverine, Iron Man and Captain America suits--was revealed at Marvel's Comic-Con panel, attended by Kotaku.

Marvel has yet to lock down a date for the costumes, and apparently might have more themed DLC in the works.

Electronic Arts is running a Dante's Inferno contest at Comic-Con that promises "a sinful night with two hot girls" as a reward for snagging multiple pictures with any booth babes--or, as the contest puts it, committing "acts of lust."

The promotional flier (shown left) asks entrants to Facebook, Twitter or email in their pictures with booth babes. The grand prize winner, handpicked by EA staff, wins "a night with the hottest girl at Comic-Con, dinner, booty and more."

Of course, the actual contest rules--posted on www.sintowin.com--allow... Read more

LucasArts today announced two new levels for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, one downloadable and the other available only with an upcoming special edition of the game, according to a press release published by VG247 and a story on PS3 Informer. The downloadable content, set for a fall release, will put players on Tatooine in a story that "re-imagines the Star Wars Saga as if the Secret Apprentice had killed Darth Vader and taken his place at the Emperor's side." The Apprentice is sent to the infamous planet on a mission to hunt down and kill the reclusive Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Unfortunately, the conclusion of the alternate storyline won't be as... Read more

Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth live-action film based on Capcom's popular survival horror game franchise, is to kick start another trilogy of Resident Evil movies, writer and director Paul W.S. Anderson tells ShockTillYouDrop.

"I don't regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise," Anderson explained. "I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy."

The director further revealed that the 2010-due, Milla Jovovich-starring flick will utilize stereoscopic 3D and "the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar," and will also have a larger budget than any of his past Resident Evil movies.

"The RPG and FPS made a baby" declares the latest trailer for Gearbox's Borderlands. There's also a promise of "87 bazillion guns," thanks to the way the game procedurally generates weapons and foes a la Diablo, along with one adorable dancing robot.

The stylish shooter-RPG hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 20.

Expansions to Call of Duty: World at War have been quite popular, so it's no wonder that Treyarch is pumping them out at a steady pace ahead of Modern Warfare 2's release.

The company is releasing a third map pack in August, a download planned to include three multiplayer maps and one level for the title's zombie mode.

Today's screenshots include a look at the aforementioned multiplayer maps, with one image captured from Battery, Breach and Revolution.

No info on a PC release or the pack's price has been announced, though we're guessing "eventually" and "$10," respectively.

These new screenshots for Raven's original shooter Singularity aren't very kind to our friend Generic Soldier. He has a tough time of it in any game, but these pictures must have been taken on a particularly bad day for him. After being kicked out of the Modern Warfare 2-dominated holiday season, Singularity is now scheduled for a March 2010 release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The PlayStation blog has posted several minutes of off-screen Uncharted 2 gameplay from the floor at Comic-Con. Naughty Dog's Arne Meyer walks and talks us through the demo, which features the recently unveiled Gold Rush co-op mode.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is headed to the PlayStation 3 on October 13. For more details on the release and the demo, check out our past coverage.

Behemoth is being quiet on the topic of exclusive content, and also has yet to name a release date for the port.
