8 Things That Sunk Like the Titanic

3 of these make me sad.

I feel guilty. 2 or 3 of those critically acclaimed games that flopped I remember the buzz and was interested but I never got them.

I feel bad seeing Okami, Psychonauts, and Brutal Legend on that list. I have the first and third, and my dad loved the hell out of Psychonauts.

Absolutely sucks that we'll never see sequels of those games or anything.

Those are exactly the ones I was thinking of. Especially Okami. I remember the buzz and thought I'd pick it up but never did.

Started playing a game called Everquest: Landmark. Holy shit, planning on losing hours upon hours to it. It's like Minecraft, but with pretty graphics and smooth edges.

Unsurprising facts about gamers

I'm surprised that 59% of Americans play video games. I thought it was a smaller number than that. You think that includes phone apps?
I couldn't say that more than half the people I know play video games.

‘Watch Dogs’ Movie to be Scripted by ‘Zombieland’ Writers

Zombieland scribes Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese have been set to script Watch Dogs, a live-action feature based on the upcoming Ubisoft video game. Sony and New Regency are developing the film with Ubisoft. The story centers on Aiden Pearce, a hacker who turns the city of Chicago into his personal stomping grounds to carry out his own brand of justice after a violent family tragedy. He is certainly adept physically, but his true gift is his ability to tap into a citywide computer system and control everything from traffic lights to accessing intel that allows him to engage the bad guys, and thwart attempts to kill innocents.

Wernick and Rheese are currently developing Epsilon, a spec they sold to Sony for Greg Berlanti to direct and for Michael De Luca to produce. The scribes are repped by WME and Hansen, Jacobson. This is the third screen collaboration for New Regency and Ubisoft: Tom Hardy is starring in the Doug Liman-directed Splinter Cell, and Michael Fassbender is starring in Assassin’s Creed, which will have a director shortly. Here is a trailer that gives a better idea of Watch Dogs‘ movie potential.

Huh, those are the same guys who scripted the defunct Deadpool flick. Also, they are just rushing that movie out the door, aren't they?
