Well, until I had seen the trailer for Ironman, the movie with Robert Downey, Jr. in it, I would have been asking who could play the character of Ironman. I think Robert is a good choice for the movie and I can’t wait to see the movie as well as try my hand at the game.

With that said, Ironman is coming to your PS3, PSP, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii and DS.

The game play looks pretty good, but standard affair. Fly, shoot, toss, and destroy; all in a days work for Ironman.

Check out the Ironman contest, as seen on the YouTube video posted above: Machinima. The contest runs April 7 - May 18 for some cool prizes.

In an announcement made by Kotaku Australia; the site, in partnership with Koei/THQ will be holding a contest until Feb. 20 (Australian Time), where they will give away a slim PSP and the PS2 remake of the game Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness for PSP.

The contest is very, very simple; just take a picture of something you made that is anime or manga based. Kotaku Australia says that extra props will be given for a Disgaea themed submission.

Based on Mr. Bean, the animated series, the game starts off with Mr. Bean getting ready for a date with his girlfriend only to find that his favorite teddy bear is nowhere to be be found!
