As with every big-budget comic book movie release an "official video game" is tied right along with it. With the Iron Man 2 movie fast approaching, Sega is quick to get the word out on the sequels video game counter-part. Here we have the character reveal trailer for War Machine who is also making an appearance in the movie.
We all know the original Iron Man video game didn't exactly sell well nor fair well according to critics. So, one can only wonder why Sega decided to green light this video game sequel. If only this title would've had the amount of time and dedication Batman: Arkham Asylum had, we could see Iron Man fans jumping for joy. Alas, I'll save the rest of my judgement for when the game gets in our hands for our review. For now, just enjoy the trailer folks.
