High Hopes, Gamma Bomb Edition

The classic letdown of gaming is the licensed franchise title -- all too often, a game featuring your favorite movie/TV/comic book character is a crappy cash-in offering virtually nothing in the way of high-quality gameplay. Sure, there are the exceptions (Goldeneye, X-Men Legends), but most of the time this stuff is garbage. And the game publishers keep making 'em because people keep buying 'em.

That said, I can't help but get excited for a licensed game when it looks like this. Sure, us comic book nerds have been let down a million times before, but Hulk Ultimate Destruction looks like it's going to be a pretty fun explode-a-thon.

Best part is when Hulk tears a car in two and turns the pieces into a giant pair of "knuckle dusters" (a phrase learned from my colleague, Richard).
