Eh. Video games for movies, no matter how good the movie, suck about 95% of the time, although
the game based on Batman Begins was pretty good.

Oh dear. They're making a Watchmen videogame. And it's a brawler.

What else would it be GY? It's a pretty violent story. Especially if they include the Vietnam stuff.

I mean, I'm sure it'll be terrible, but Watchmen isn't that bad a source material for a console game.

An adventure game? It is, after all, about a series of mysteries being solved/uncovered.

Well yeah. Back in the day Infocom could have made a brilliant text-adventure out of it. But I can't see how that sort of dialogue-heavy game can ever exist on consoles.

But looking at it from the other direction, using the Watchmen characters in your standard GTA-style game would give it more depth than the competition.

That's the thing - there are many potential "good" choices of genre. But as a brawler it's only ever going to be another brawler, and there haven't been many good ones in the last decade (let's face it, it's not going to be God of War). And there are plenty of good, dialogue heavy adventure games on console -text adventures don't even begin to describe the range. You've got RPGs, action adventures, even point-and-click adventures. And, as you say, open world games. It's the laziness that pisses me off. Competenet brawlers are easy to code and easy to develop, unlike time consuming adventures and art intensive open worlds.

Anyway, more info. Apparently the episodes are going to be prequels, hence the brawling.

It sounds like The Warriors game based on that description? Posh Double Dragon.

Picked up a few of the Hellblazer trades recently and it's in Tainted Love, yeah. Brilliant story. Ennis was frustrating. His opening volley on the title was the best he ever wrote but, issues like that one we mentioned aside, were poor. Although I'm probably best to reserve my final estimation until I read Rake At The Gates Of Hell, the conclusion to his major arc.

Does anyone know the name of the colony in Dead Space
where the crew of the Ishimurafirst find the artifact??

Google isn't helping me.

edit: not to worry. I found it. Aegis VII, if you care.

I really don't think that has anything to do with whether or not the movie will be any good.

Awful music has no bearing on the quality of a movie?

It doesn't help, but if it's just in the end credits then I don't think it matters much.

Better yet, maybe it's in a scene where the script calls for "shitty band doing a bad Dylan cover in the background."

It's probably some sort of cross-promotion being ram-rodded by the execs who think MCR can sell the soundtrack or whatever.

In case it hasn't been mentioned, and I can't believe it won't be in over five pages, a "must read" graphic novel is the two-parter "My Father Bleeds History"/ "And Here My Troubles Began".

I can't recommend them enough.

Who is the author, GP?


Back to Watchmen for a moment.

These look pretty cool. http://www.superherohype.com/news/watchmennews.php?id=7562

Art Spiegelman.

It's the "Maus" books.

Ah. I have the first Maus book, but I haven't finished it yet.
