This is a really cool intersection of film, comic book, games and music. Promotional material for the upcoming Watchmen film has been very inventive so far, with fake news report, online magazines and a healthy supply of film-maker video podcasts (Anthony Burgess, could we call these viddycasts?).
Anyway, the best one yet is just out - a playable video game within a film. Veidt Industries have made an 8-bit game of 1940s superheros The Minutemen. This is of interest to students of Entertainment Systems as it shows the intersection of multiple media formats. Musicians - take note of the nostaligic 8-bit music!
I love the Double Dragon-esque feel of this game. Have a go and see who can get the highest score?!
