Dante and Virgil race through the City of Despair in order to save Beatrice from the evil clutches of Lucifer, in this clip from Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic.
Ubisoft has cancelled its plans for a game based on NBC’s Heroes.
Warner Bros are quite convinced that releasing an episodic downloadable Watchmen tie-in game is not only innovative, but actually rather brave.
“We know it’s risky for us, and the safe move would have been to cram out a retail game alongside the film release,” Senior VP Samantha Ryan told MCV, “but we didn’t feel that was the right decision.”
Surely the risk with Watchmen isn’t the length of the game, the media it arrives in or how closely it aligns with the film’s release.. it is the fact that Watchmen is such a beloved comic that fans are convinced it is going to stink up the place before seeing even a few pixels and will hunt you down, vigilante style if it is worse than they fear?
CSI Fans always a seem a little ghoulish to me. Admit it – part of the fun is in the increasingly intricate forms of death and the kind forensic detail that could give George Romero the willies.
It’s not clear yet how much corpse-rummaging will be involved in the new CSI: NY game from Ubisoft, but what you will get — for the first time in a CSI game — is the chance to play some of the actual characters from the show.
Five new cases have been created by writers from the show and then illustrated in a new ‘graphic novel’ style of cartoony animation. It looks quite nice, although I would be hard pressed to identify that guy as Gary Sinese without the caption. Maybe there is some kind of likeness licensing issue.
A new interrogation feature lets you keep pushing suspects in different directions to wear them down and ferret out the info you need.
Other than that it looks like minigame business as usual trying to triangulate bullet trajectories, reconstruct evidence and crack codes. Crack the case with new ‘CSI: NY’ game [Monsters and Critics]
