Well, the VGAs may not be good for much, but they have brought us a few trailers, one of the highlights being the first for the Watchmen. Check out the debut footage for this comic adaptation below.

    I'm pretty unimpressed by the graphics. I don't know, It just looks blocky and unpolished. I'm sure it is somewhat of an early build but still. Would of thought it would of looked a bit nicer.

    You know. I highly recommend the book, The Greatest SCI-FI Films nevermade. Case in point, there is a reason why THE Watchman wasn't made until now, the only comic in the 100 Great Novels of All Time (http://www.time.com/time/2005/100books/0,24459,watchmen,00.html) ... and even it's creator, Alan Moore commented that it is a very different medium and given how heavy the Watchmen is, it really is the type of thing to be digested in the recliner by the fire with a cup of tea...

    That said, something in me, being loyal to the original work, and knowing how hard it was to get to the screen before Zack (possibly) delivers gold, feels a Watchmen game is a VERY VERY BAD IDEA.

    That trailer makes Alan Moore turn in his grave (when he dies that is).

    I love Watchmen the book. Even though I know the ending of the movie is considerably different than how the book ends, I still look forward to seeing the flick.

    This game though, oh man, it looks horrible.

    (But I'll be damned if I don't want to play it anyways).

    It honestly looks like they just used the City of Heros character creator and threw them into the game... Something tells me they'll completely miss the point of a lot of the characters as well as the book itself.

    Very disappointing, I'm a huge fan of the graphic novel.
