GREAT BAND PENS TRACK FOR TERRIBLE VIDEO GAME

Did anyone besides me even try to play the Iron Man movie tie-in video game in 2008? I got it from Game Fly and I think I returned it in record time – like, I may have stuck it back in the mail later the same day I received it. It sucked that bad, and was piece of evidence number one gazillion that 99% of the time, movie tie-in games are terrible.

If I’m not mistaken, the upcoming Iron Man 2 video game has different developers, so maybe it’ll be superior to its predecessor – it certainly couldn’t be inferior. But whether the game ends up sucking or not, at least we’re gonna get a new Lamb of God song out of the deal.

From Marvel’s official website:

Get ready to rock, Marvel fans, because two-time Grammy-nominated heavy metal superstars Lamb of God are creating an exclusive song for the upcoming blockbuster title, “Iron Man 2: The Video Game.” The all-new song serves as the perfect complement to the non-stop super-powered action of the game on the Xbox 360, PlayStation3, PlayStationPortable and Wii video game systems. “Iron Man 2: The Video Game” will be in- stores across North America on May 4, 2010.

The post on Marvel’s website doesn’t mention the name of the song, but The PRP says it’s called “Hit the Wall.”

So while I don’t have a lot of faith that the Iron Man 2 game is going to be worth your time, I do have faith in Lamb of God. Hopefully the band will make the song available in some kind of official format after the game’s release.
