War of the Worlds set to hit XBLA October 26th photo

Other Ocean recently announced through their Facebook page that their upcoming Patrick Stewart-narrated sidescrolling adventure, The War of the Worlds, will be hitting the Xbox Live Arcade on October 26th. PlayStation 3 and PC players will have to wait a bit longer, as it appears to have been pushed back for said platforms.

I really can't contain my anticipation for this game. A gritty re-telling of H.G. Wells' timeless novel that, again, is featuring Patrick Stewart as the narrator for the game that has me exploring a 2D Martian-invaded world? This is exactly the sort thing I've always wanted.

I'm horny for this just because it's War Of The Worlds. I hope it looks good in action.

Cool. Probably wait for the PS3 version. Had about enough of Microsoft Points.

Patrick Stewart's voice sings from my penis every time I orgasm.

Pain in the arse that the PS3 version has been pushed back but still excited nonetheless.

the setting and the narrator would almost make this game a must buy, but from the single trailer the gameplay looks subpar.

The the lack of released trailers with gameplay is kinda worrisome as well.

I thought it was that old game 'Simon' when I glanced at the header.

Well, this is the first I've heard of this game. Patrick Stewart AND War of the Worlds? Side-scrolling? Patrick Stewart? 2D adventure?

Movies don't usually make for good games, so I hope this bucks that trend.
