University of Amsterdam students Daniel Karavolos, Sicco van Sas, and Maarten van der Velden hacked an Xbox Kinect to create this Superman virtual reality game. The player's body movements control Superman onscreen — stretching one's arms causes Superman to fly faster, and tapping the sides of the VR goggles activate his heat vision and frost breath. There's also a famous boss who appears pretty imposing, but he's deceptively easy to kill. More »

The huge innovation of Sam Rami's Spider-Man movie was its CGI web-slinging, which really made it look as if Peter Parker was bouncing around the skyscrapers of New York by his web thread. But movie CGI still isn't up to the task of creating an airborne battle as breathtaking — and air-sickness-causing — as this fight between Spider-Man and the Wizard, from the forthcoming xBox game Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows. The first Web Of Shadows screenshots just came out, and they show the range of Marvel heroes and villains you can play in the game, which is all about Spidey and friends fighting an alien invasion that's using Manhattan as its beachhead.
