The problem with creating a great movie is that, inevitably, someone will want to create a game based on it. Variety is reporting that Watchmen is no exception to this rule but the game based on the film (based on the graphic novel) is taking a different approach. Warner Bros. has announced it will release two downloadable episodic games on Xbox Live, PC and PSN to coincide with the theatrical and DVD releases of the film.
Developed by Deadline Games, which is currently working on Faith and a .45, we don't know much about the content of the games but we hope a smaller game will work out better than licensed titles of the past. We also hope for world peace and an end to fanboy flame wars -- guess how that's going so far?

Umm...stunning news. Why do we need a Watchmen game though? Where in the story is there even room for a game? The Vietnam segments as the Comedian? I am thoroughly confused.

I know this is random but the first thing I thought of when I saw the image and before I read the headline was...

I'm not quite sure about this. I like the idea of making it episodic though, but I'm not sure if the Watchmen story sets up for much of a game.

I thought that was Batman in the middle.
Can't say I've ever heard of Watchmen but there's always room for more (cool) superheroes in my book!
