The arrival of the next-generation of consoles will not only pit the against the PS3, but, it is looking increasingly likely, DC against Comics too. This came to light as Marvel and announced an exclusive deal which will see MMORPG titles based upon Marvel's superheroes featuring on the 360. The system is expected out in November of this year, with the expected next spring. also revealed that an MMOG based on DC Comics' heroes is currently in at veteran developers Entertainment, with a title expected out on the and 'next-gen' platforms. An enticing prospect indeed.

Details of Microsoft's forthcoming game based on Marvel's heroes are scant, but more details are expected soon. Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk and X-Men count among Marvel's numerous creations. Redmond's said of the forthcoming MMOG that it will give gamers "the ability to create choices with their favourite Super Heroes, villains and creatures in unbelievable detail". Whilst this new agreement will see rivals Sony and Microsoft duking it out for the superhero-gaming crown, there will regardless be no shortage of titles based on individual properties, with several single and online games from both comic book makers planned.

We'll keep you posted on both titles as this clash of the titans nears.

    Spiderman was average and the rest have been crap. Hulk game is looking promising but i bet it'll have repetative gameplay, smash a building for 10hrs and smash some more. So the exclusive deal will only be a waste of money unless they can prove me wrong and make some good titles, but highly unlikely. I'm not a comic book fan so I don't know what hero's come from DC comics. Being that I'm not a fan of comics doesn't say I wouldn't like the game if it was good.
