Things that Should not be Made
EGM’s December issue gets a first look at the upcoming Watchmen Prequel Game, Watchmen: The End is Nigh. Poor, poor Alan Moore, Video Game writers creating a prequel to the greatest piece of comic book literature of our time. This shouldn’t be allowed.

Game writers aren’t all bad
Plus, as I understand it, the writer behind the Watchmen game was the editor who worked with Alan on the original comics series.
Your right, they aren’t all bad,there are actually some really talented Video Game writers (Bioshock comes to mind).
But as Alan Moore himself has always refused to write anything more about Watchmen, and DC has always gone along with those wishes, it seems odd to trust it to a 3rd party in a field that is notorious for some really bad writing.
Since we haven’t heard much about this game yet, I’ll take your advise, Anne, and remain cautiously optimistic.
