Thanks to Iron Man cleaning up at the box office this weekend (an estimated $100 million weekend), we're sure sales of the Iron Man video game will also be rather high. And even though we can't guarantee the game will equal that of the movies' enjoyment, we can guarantee your Iron Man video game purchase will score you a free gift card.Over at Circuit City and Best Buy, you can score a $10 gift card with the purchase of Iron Man for the Xbox 360. Not too shabby of a deal, especially if you are or know someone who is a gamer hell bent on owning everything Iron Man after experiencing Iron Man excitement at the box office. Just be careful with your purchase.

The stores got it backward: you should get a free copy of Iron Man when you purchase a $10 gift card.

Eh, what did you expect though it's an Iron Man game based on a movie. I really don't think it's as shitty as everyone is making it sound. The game really just lacks any sort of polish (bland textures, environments, and enemies) but it's actually fun. The only reason I could see someone not having fun while playing this is because they are terrible at games. The better you are and more you practice the more shit you can do with Iron Man. Just being able to do constant corkscrews and shooting repulsor blasts is entertaining for at least an hour.

My impressions from the Demo.
Graphics 7 out of 10 at best
Gameplay 6 out of 10
I just hope Hulk will be better...

It really sucks that the game is so terrible because the movie was freakin' amazing.

I don't know about the game but the movie was amazing. Looking forward to Speed Racer.

Hey Grimm, Who wants to pay $50-$60 for a game that's fun for an hour? This is the type of game that should be available on XBLA. Maybe they should start a pay-per-play system that maxes out at $30. I bet they get a lot more people playing a lot more games.

I'd have to say I like the idea of being able to rent games through marketplace and save them to the hard drive. Also note that I'm not saying the game is worth buying I just don't think it's as crappy as everyone makes it out to be. Play the demo and you might just like it enough to warrant a rent. Although this game is in no way worth 60 bucks haha...
