MARVEL-GUS NEWS The Sci-ti Channel has launched Britain's biggest Ultimate Gaming Competition in association with the game, the HULK, to tie in with this summer’s blockbuster movie about Marvel Comics' big green guy. Open to everyone, the Sci-Fi Channel's Ultimate Garner will be played on cinema screens across the country, with a grand final at UCI Leicester Square on 5 July. The competition kicks off in Edinburgh at Virgin, 125 Princes Street on 13 June before lucky qualifiers thrash it out on the big screen at UCI Edinburgh on 28 June. Get in quick though, as the deadline for competition entries is 8 June. With prizes worth over £50,000 up for grabs, this is well worth a gamble.
