Evening Reading

Chatter at the 3DR Forums tells me there will never be a Shadow Warrior sequel. They are saying George didn't like it for some reason. It's OK, I can handle that.

Actually no, I can't handle that. Maybe George doesn't like good games? He is on a plane now to demo DNF to some publishers so can't weigh in here and probably wouldn't anyway, so I will withhold unfair vitriol, but this hurts. Blood and Shadow Warrior are two wonderful games that do NOT need to be gived up on but it looks like this is the case.

But how about a Shadow Warrior movie? Y'all seem to think that movies based on video games suck, but I think this is largely because of the Uwe Boll curse, if we removed him from the equation, would/could things be different? I didn't mind the Doom movie, but didn't play the games. Was the Tomb Raider movie good? Didn't see it. I understand the Silent Hill movie was actually good, is this true? The Max Payne movie would have been okay if the game wasn't 500 million times better.

So what about a Shadow Warrior movie? Should I start a Internet petition to Scott Miller about this, or would it be destined to suck no matter what? Can a great game be a good movie? Who would need to direct this, and star in it? I am tired of our great nation's new immigrants living a Shadow Warrior-free life.
