Yeah, it's a video game with Superman in it.

Seriously, though, it looks rather good: I've seen a clip in which Superman fights a giant robotic Metallo and has to deflect a missile of some sort. It's being developed by Tiburon, who mostly make sports games, which is a bit of a strange choice. Licensed games are rarely any good, as they are usually just published as a sort of appendage to a popular film or television series, but it would seem that more care has been put into this, rather like the well-received King Kong game that was based on the recent movie release. One lives in hope, but one also prefers to see what the critics say once it is released.

One gripe I have is that it doesn't seem to be released for the PC, just PlayStation and Xbox (or PlayBox as I like to think of them).

I just did so research myself. UGO has an article on it from E3. Looks really great! If you want, look at this one too..

no, but you are now :)

As far as this game goes, it wasn't completely refined and they did not want to release something that would disappoint fans. So it will NOT be release with the film but rather later this year.

Hmm...I never even noticed that there was a video game section!

Superman video games are usually awful. I'm going to wait this one out until I can see some good reviews or play a demo...

There's quite a lot of ingame footage from the E3 show right here:

The guy playing it seems to be enjoying just flying around Metropolis being a nuisance to motorists by blowing their cars off the road.
