The Watchmen are set to have a video game that will tie into the film. We get the following release news and screenshot montage from our friends at Slashfilm:
Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment will be releasing the game for download for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The first game is expected in March 2009, around the time of the film’s theatrical release. A follow-up will hit in time for the film’s home video release.
Video Games based on movies are far better now than when I was a kid. I remember playing E.T. on the Atari 2600 …that game sucked as bad as a game could suck. I am saddened that I haven’t been able to forget it.
The graphics on the games that are coming down the pipe are outstanding. With every advance in graphics I am always excited at what I see, but even more curious about what’s around the corner. In the future I suspect people will leave their homes even less than they do now. When the games are epic, life has a hard time competing.
