 "Take-Two to Ride With the Ghost")
In yet another case of franchise milking, Take-Two Studios has announced Ghost Rider, the game based on the upcoming Nicholas Cage movie of the same name. The game will feature the Ghost Rider (duh!) and a lot of the characters and motorcycles from the comic book and will fuse hand-to-hand combat with a little motorbike action a la Road Rash.
Marvel is excited about the upcoming Ghost Rider video game,” said Ames Kirshen, Vice President, Interactive at Marvel Entertainment. “2K Games is creating an innovative game that showcases a combination of amazing hand-to-hand combat and motorcycle action intertwined with compelling third person play that offer gamers a truly unique and diverse gameplay experience.
Expect the game somewhere during February 2007 to coincide with the movie’s theatrical release.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
