Farscape Video Game

mythr writes: "I was reading Firingsquad, and I found this preview of a Farscape video game. It's a top-down action/adventure game, sort of like Diablo, based on the Sci-Fi Channel series. It says that it's slated for May. I know I can't wait."

Here is a link to an article about the Farscape Video Game at SCIFI.com

Here is a link to a preview at Sonyweb.com for the game. It looks like the game will come out on the Playstation 2. The preview includes many pictures and lots of information.

Here is a a little of what it says:

The #1 sci-fi television show, Farscape, is set to make its appearance on PS2 and PC, and although not due to be released until early next year, the hype surrounding the game is already building. Farscape, a critically acclaimed original sci-fi channel series, has quite a large fan-base, and these science fiction lovers will be anxiously awaiting the release of a Farscape video game. Thanks to Jim Henson's Creature Shop, the show is brought to life with innovative creature design and high-tech special effects.

Hi.

The term applies to any game which is based on a non-game franchise. TV shows, movies, toys. The muttering is due to the fact that 90% of these games end up biting the big one. This is probably because the publishers think they can sell a game based on the license, rather than good gameplay.

For those of you who didn't bother to read the review (now there's a new thought):

The game's story involves a Peacekeeper attack on the ship Moya - all but two of the ship's seven crew escape the Moya and crash land on a strange planet. The objective is to get the escape pod fixed, fly back up to the Moya, wrest control of her away from the Peacekeepers and get out of Dodge.
