Iron Man 2 Is Coming, Hopefully With Improvements

It was my favorite superhero movie of last year (it was so fun), and I'm anxiously awaiting its sequel to hit the big screen next year.

It was my favorite superhero movie of last year (it was so fun), and I'm anxiously awaiting its sequel to hit the big screen next year. Heck yeah I'm excited for Iron Man 2, but I'm not sure how I feel about another video game installment, given what happened last time. You know what I mean.

I can't think of a better way to continue the fun of a movie than in video game form, but there haven't been many to write home about, Iron Man included. But hopefully, the trusty hands of Sega can pull it off this time. Announced yesterday, Iron Man 2 is definitely hitting the shelves next year and will be available on your PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii, and DS consoles. Did you play the first installment of the Iron Man franchise? Do you even care about a second?

Sega Robot Kitty: Almost Like a Real One, Just Not Alive

I've been dying to get a cat but my apartment has a strict antifeline rule in my lease.

I've been dying to get a cat but my apartment has a strict antifeline rule in my lease. Enter Sega Toys, who have created this lovely robotic cat, complete with touch sensors and real-kitty movements.

The kitty cat, whose name is "Yume-Neko Venus," which translates to "Dream Cat Venus", is kind of a dream. There's no litter to clean up, no hairballs, no stinky cat food, just a furry purring buddy.

True: There is also no heartbeat, but these guys probably have the same energy level as the real thing.
