Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Once was a time Microsoft were very stingy with how big a game downloaded from Xbox Live Arcade could be. These days, though? Don’t worry about it, publishers, knock yourselves out.
So this isn’t really a gaming post, but with the Watchmen movie out now and the downloadable game already reviewed, I thought it was relevant enough.
The Watchmen movie hits theatres this Friday, and the downloadable game hits the Playstation 3 this Thursday.
Watchmen: The End Is Nigh isn’t the only game shipping alongside the release of the big-budget, over-advertised adaptation of the graphic novel. There’s an iPhone game coming too, the online multiplayer Watchmen: Justice Is Coming.
Watchmen: The End is Nigh is set to hit Xbox Live, PSN and Steam next week ahead of the film’s premier, but so far only the Steam release has a definite price.
Paramount Pictures is readying a major marketing push into Sony’s PlayStation Home service for the upcoming film Watchmen, with exclusive footage, a filmmaker Q&A session, and of course, Watchmen costumes for your avatar.
Deadline are working on a Watchmen brawler, but this isn’t it. This game we’re talking about today is an old-fashioned side-scroller, it has old-fashioned sensibilities and, best of all, it’s free.

Prequel to the events of the comic’s main story arc or not, it’s tough to see the characters and universe of Alan Moore’s masterpiece broken down into simple beat-em-up characters, complete with health and “rage” bars.
First announced early last year, Deadline Games’ Faith And A .45 looked promising! It had biplanes, tommy guns and a sexy, ginger-haired lady. Basically, it made the Great Depression look fun!
