Watchmen getting downloadable episodic games - Image 1The Watchmen are coming, and they're coming in a way most people wouldn't expect them to: via Xbox Live, the PlayStation Network, and the PC.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) has announced at least two downloadable games based on Watchmen. Deadline Games will be developing the two titles, with the first episode scheduled for release around the same time as the movie and the second episode slated closer to the DVD release.

Notes Samantha Ryan, WBIE VP of Product and Development, "We donÂ’t want a low-quality console game that will get lost at retail. A downloadable game allows us to deliver the experience that fans expect."

Warner Bros. looks to be banking on the idea that episodic gaming will increase the quality of the individual game and make it a hit with moviegoing gamers and reviewers alike. We'll find out soon enough if their call does justice to the Watchmen. In the meantime, feel free to sound off in the comments on whether or not episodic gaming will make for a good videogame adaptation of this comic-turned-film.

I'm a big Allan Moore fan myself. I wonder what he thought about this game as well. I totally agree with you when you say that you hope they don't screw this one up.
