Activision is to publish "a kick-butt, butt-kicking" Deadpool videogame in 2013, crafted by Transformers veterans High Moon Studios.
The announcement, recounted by Deadpool himself, promises "Katanas", "Big Guns" and "Bouncy Houses", also hinting that X-men characters may appear. Fans of the comic book will be pleased to discover that Deadpool's signature humour is intact - the fourth-wall shattering teaser trailer tells Wolverine (and possibly by extension his game) to "suck it".
with the 'Merc with a Mouth'? There's also the competition to consider - Ninja Gaiden and Metal Gear Rising have already staking their claim to the bananas action genre.
Check out the footage and let us know your thoughts. Big on comicbooks? Rocksteady's rumoured Justice League game should get your motor running.

I saw this the other night on another site, was wondering when you'd get it on here.
I quite like Deadpool, so I really hope this will be good.

What pleases me about this is that it won't be a tie in with the movie considering (if rumours are true) the Deadpool movie won't be released untill 2014.
"Pinapple Surprise!"

Heard about this on YouTube a couple of days ago, trailer is looking good (and the video player worked - OMG). Should be a lot of fun, hopefully they don't get too self-indulgent like Duke Nukem.

Deadpool wouldn't work unless it's self indulgent!

Please High Moon, make this Wicked Cool. Us Marvelites are frickin' desperate for a tremendous 616 based game! DC have got theirs, Marvel has always ripped them off and done it better. Now is your chance, please get it right (Spiderman doesn't count, it was a film license and was not good enough anyway lol).
