It’s not often that video game adaptations of comics or movies, or more specifically comic book movies, turns out good. More often than not they’re epic failures. From the looks of the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World video game trailer though, it looks like for once someone got it right. The side scrolling beat em’ up allows for 4 players, including the main cast of the graphic novels Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, Kim Pine and Stephen Stills loosely following the plot of defeating Ramona Flower’s seven evil ex-boyfriends. The game will be released as a timed downloadable exclusive this August from the Playstation Network and Xbox Live.
Really the best way to bast in it’s epic epicness is to watch the game trailer:
Fleet also asked that I post game creator Paul Robertson’s early animation called “Pirate Baby’s Cabana Street Fight,” which is equally awesome:

One of my favorite bookstores in St. Louis. Star Clipper offers not only the best selection of comic books and graphic novels in the city, but also a cornucopia of art, design and pop-culture related books and magazines. 
This definitely looks like one of the best comic book/movie adaptation games ever. It’s time that developers took making these types of games more seriously. I was hoping the Iron Man 2 game would turn out ok since I wanted to play a game featuring a solo hero that wasn’t Batman but after reading the reviews I can see it ended up like most other movie adaptation games. Hopefully if this is successful, it will encourage other companies to allot more development time towards these sorts of games instead of trying to rush it for the movie release date.
