The fine folks at Electronic Gaming Monthly are making another great case as to why print's simply not dead -- their next cover story feature will reveal the upcoming title, Watchmen: The End is Nigh.
Not a game based on the forthcoming movie, Watchmen: The End is Nigh is a prequel, fleshing out much of the back-story referenced in the classic graphic novel. The End is Nigh is being developed by Denmark-based Deadline Games, is being penned by Len Wein, will episodic and -- get this -- downloadable.
The latest issue of EGM will feature 20 screenshots of the title, as well as a slew of interviews and info that should give you the skinny. So do the folks at Ziff Davis a favor and resist the urge to look at the scans and info that will undoubtedly appear on NeoGAF within the next ten minutes -- go buy a magazine!

Here's to hoping it came together for them (i.e. won't suck as much balls as it probably deserves to for messing with the Watchmen).
*sigh*
I don't know how can you make a prequel of one of the most iconic novels of our time (graphic or otherwise) without involving at least one of the people involved in the original.
Trust this.

Watchmen game? Sure, if it's built on the SCUMM engine or something.
Watchmen as a brawler, as this game is rumored to be? No thanks. Yeah, there's some fisticuffs in Watchmen, but it's just an element of the story, not the focus. That would be like making a James Bond game focused strictly on racing an Aston Martin (oh, wait...)
Whatever.
Here's hoping for some polygonal Doc Manhattan wangpiece action, no matter what the end result.
oh well at least I have the graphic novel to keep me satisfied.

So I'm sure they will take a lot of liberties.
Personally, I will never ever get this. The movie is one thing, but this...
ugh
