There's a decent game lurking somewhere in Marvel's superhero, Iron Man. Maybe it's even a brilliant game. Sure, those palm-mounted laser cannons mean that he's going to enter most battles with his hands up, looking like he's dead set on capitulating, but he can fly, he can blast stuff into pieces, and he's made of bright, shining Metroid metal.

XSEED has hinted on their official Twitter account that their upcoming announcement will be for a Nintendo platform.

Gamerdeals.net:

"Amazon has recently added an number of upcoming titles to their $10-$20 video game credit promo.

Here is the updated $10-$20 Amazon Credit list:"

WarioWare D.I.Y. has launched in Europe (under the slightly more straightforward title WarioWare Do It Yourself).

If you're in the market for a Wii and you don't mind buying one before seeing how that rumored black Wii situation shakes out, Toys R Us has a pretty appealing deal right now. Today and tomorrow, you'll get a $50 gift card with the purchase of the $200 console. It's like the Wii Sports Resort deals Walmart and Target have offered recently, except you can get pretty much any game instead of Resort.

Check the weekly ad for your ZIP code before going in. We don't want any of you to drive down to Toys R Us just to be disappointed.

[Thanks, Israel]

New video for Sin and Punishment: Star Successor.

Next week's Rock Band DLC adds "the deep cuts" from Tragic Kingdom, No Doubt's 1995 breakthrough album. The singles from that album were actually added to Rock Band way back in December 2008. Those interested in the tracks have the option to buy the full Tragic Kingdom album, just the remaining songs (if they purchased the singles back in the day) or each song individually.

Also, as a reminder, PSN updates will change to Tuesday in North America starting next week. So, PS3 owners are now able to pick up their Rock Band DLC on the same day as everyone else. Yay for equality.

Check out next week's full list of DLC releases after the break.

A list of scheduled release dates for games, on all major platforms, for the North American region in the merry month of May. NB: Scheduled dates may differ from actual release dates.

After very little nose-to-the-grindstone sleuthing, Telltale has revealed the answer to the Mystery of Scoggins Erasers: Puzzle Agent. IGN was recently shown this first game in Telltale's new "Pilot Program" -- a series of one-off games that could be expanded into larger franchises depending on fan reception. Considering Puzzle Agent apparently mixes Telltale's quirky brand of comedy with Professor Layton-style brainteasers, we seriously doubt this one will have a hard time catching on.

The game, which is being developed for PC, Mac, WiiWare and, as we guessed, iPhone and iPad, places you in the shoes of "the Agent," who's called to solve a mystery in the Fargo-esque town of Scoggins, Minnesota. What are the specifics of this mystery, you ask? We have no idea, but based on Telltale's lineage, we're guessing it's going to be pretty wacky, and perhaps even a little bit zany. There might even be some hare-brained hijinks, if we're lucky.

Nintendolife writes: "leaving the Halo universe behind, the developers are now set to branch out with a new IP set to release for multiple platforms, opening the door for Nintendo fans to experience a Bungie game for the first time."

"Although the initial announcement from Activision claimed the studio's next title would be available for "all platforms", Bungie president Harold Ryan said:"

"I absolutely believe there is a place in the world for the Wii. When you look at platforms and core competitive game experiences, it's probably not that, but as we go through this franchise we will look at every platform people play on."
