A morning of movie games
Nothing like starting off the week after E3 with not one, but TWO movie-based games. I miss it already.
I'm in the first stages of "X-Men: The Official Game," and I'm not in love with what I'm seeing so far. Instead of animated cinema sequences, I'm getting still illustrations with voices accompanying the images. I guess it's supposed to give me a comic book feel. I guess.
I'm also checking out the "Da Vinci Code" today as well. No Tom Hanks (or anyone else from the movie, I think). This could be the first time I get the play the movie/book treatment under my belt. Well, at least the movies won't stink.
If you're a Wall Streeter who plays, check out the GameSpot story about the injured stocks of a few game companies. The biggest black eye can be found at Electronic Arts, which hit a 52-week low.
Speaking of stocks, I just saw on CNNMoney.com that Timothy Roberts, ex-major domo of Infinium Labs has been accused by the SEC in a pump-and-dump scheme. Allegedly, the dude inflated the company's stock and then sold personal shares at a higher price.
Much of the mess centers around the Phantom game console. If you don't know what that is, trust me -- you don't care.
And just because, here's a screenshot of Eidos' upcoming "Rogue Trooper":
