Hulk Vs Wolverine/Thor

I am a sucker for the odd anime/cartoon film, and as I have a young son I get to use him as an excuse to watch cartoons and anime whenever I want. So when I got the chance to watch the new Hulk Vs DVD earlier today with him I jumped at the chance.

I don't mind the Hulk but he has never been one of my real favourite characters of the Marvel Universe. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against the big green/grey/red guy but I always preferred watching the Spider-man cartoons over the Hulk. Then when it came to reading material I would pick the Silver Surfer and Thor over and other comic.

We decided that we would watch the Hulk Vs Thor cartoon first of all, and I have to say I was a bit disappointed in it overall. The story is ok at best but just felt really underwhelming over all. What could have been a great story of two of Marvels strongest characters just felt like a let down, with a bit of a crap story. It does entertain in parts, but it isn't something that I would recommend to watch unless the alternative is an episode of American Idol or Big Brother. (It really is quite a big let down)

How great it is that Hulk Vs Wolverine is a polar opposite to Hulk Vs Thor. It has a pretty cool story which will keep you entertained, and also has a few surprise guests appearing that are a major part of the storyline. The story also covers some of the origins of one of the titular characters. The real star of the show for me has to be neither the Hulk or Wolverine though, it is someone else that I felt stole the show with some funny one liners and light hearted moments.

I would have to say the Wolverine story is a lot more graphic than the child friendly Thor one, but that should really come of no surprise as Wolverine has claws after all. The big question is though is the DVD worth buying when each story only lasts 45minutes or so? I would have to say no unless the price is right, so if your going to pick it up get it while it is on sale, if not rent it or talk a buddy into buying it and steal it from them.

Pwned by Kotaku.com :(

Well im pissed off at the moment,why? because today i wrote a story on ConsoleHeroes.com about Iron Man appearing in the new Hulk game based on this render here.



This render has been available for the last 5-6 days and nobody had noticed anything about it,but as i was looking through Sega`s new screenshots today i stumbled across it again and took another look at it.
Then wrote the story which is here

Then about an hour after i thought i would share the news with Kotaku as they always give props to the sources, so i figured it would be good for the site. What i did not count on though was a guy called Mike Fahey on taking that info, and making out that he had just recieved the 5 day old render in his mailbox, and writing this story without giving props for the info,which is a courtesy that they show to other websites. So Mikey although you probably wont read this, i think your a twat for not naming the source of your story. A story that you would not have had in the first place,if i didn`t email it to you, but i guess Kotaku dont care as they are a big site and can do what they want.
