Playstation Store Update: Princes and Watchmen Edition (March 5, 2009 to March 13, 2009)
The Playstation Store offerings for the first week of March 2009 should prove extremely bountiful for fans of both the latest Prince of Persia title and the Watchmen movie, as content familiar to both of these items are now available for purchase.
Prince of Persia fans who were pleased with the game but horrified at the ending will have the chance to download the Epilogue this week, while Watchmen fans will have the chance to play The End is Nigh, the full interactive experience based on the movie.
The rest of the additional content in this release can be found below, which proves that the Playstation, much like the month of March, is successful at coming in like a lion at the start…
Gamertell Review: Watchmen the movie
Based on a series of comics released by DC Comics in the late 1980s, Watchmen offers a twist to costumed super heroes. Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Dawn of the Dead), the film follows the original 12-issue series very closely, with many scenes and moments created to depict specific panels of the comic.
While this movie will not likely convert non-comic fans, it is a rather respectable adaptation and certainly honors both the comics and the era they were created (and set)…
Sneak Peek: Watchmen the movie
I attended an advance screening of Watchmen last night and, while I cannot give you a full review yet (that’ll come soon enough), here’s what I can tell you about Warner Bros. latest comic book-based flick without (major) spoilers…
Blu-ray Update: X-Men trilogy, Watchmen tie-in and digital comic coming March 2009
Just in time for the big-screen releases, dueling comic book companies put out must-have Blu-rays of popular franchises.
Three weeks after the Watchmen movie hit theaters, an animated movie, Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter, based on the story within a story concept featured in the original Watchmen 12-issue miniseries back in 1986. Also being released in March is Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic, a two-disc collection of the original twelve issues of the Watchmen comic book series.
Competing company Marvel is releasing all three X-Men feature films as a box set to preempt the May 1, 2009, release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Gerard Way says “No way” to Umbrella Academy video game
I recently interviewed Gerard Way for an upcoming issue of Geek Monthly magazine. Way, known to many as the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, wrote the 6-issue comic book series Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite, currently available as a trade paperback by Dark Horse Comics ($17.95) and winner of three 2008 Eisner Awards for Best Limited Series (Way and Gabriel Ba), Coloring (Dave Stewart) and Cover Artist (James Jean).
Way is currently writing the second chapter in the series, coming out late 2008, and Universal Pictures has already optioned Umbrella Academy for a live-action feature film. But, as Way expressed in our interview, don’t expect to see a videogame based on his creation. At least, not one that he approves of…
Fight over Watchman heating up
If all that excitement over the recent Watchman trailer wasn’t enough for you, consider the legal drama over the film’s right to exist. Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox are locked in what could be a very bloody battle with the film (directed by Zack Snyder and set to release on March 6, 2009) at more »
Warner Bros. making episodic Watchmen game
The upcoming graphic novel turned film The Watchmen will also be made into a videogame in 2009. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced July 24,2008, that the game will be based on the movie with an emphasis on the character personalities. Warner Bros. promises The Watchmen videogame will be an episodic experience available on Playstation Network, Xbox Live and PC.
Warner Bros. is taking a slightly different approach to producing a videogame tie-in to a movie. Given that history of movie-based games as being, well, less than stellar, Warner Bros. has decided to release at least two…
First look at Watchmen
2007 saw one of the best comic book movies of all time released, that being Frank Millar’s 300 which would go on to gross over $450 million worldwide. 300 was only the second motion picture to be directed by Zack Snyder who, after 300 and Dawn of the Dead (Snyder’s first film), would essentially be allowed to sign his own check. That was pretty much what he did with his biggest project, the highly acclaimed-award winning comic book Watchmen, which Snyder has wanted to turn into a film for quite some time.
A full year ahead of Watchmen(s) scheduled March 6, 2009 ,release date, Snyder has revealed the official Watchmen movie website as well as a first look at five of the film’s staring heroes: The Comedian, Nite Owl, Ozymandias, Rorschach and Silk Spectre…
