Here we go again...

Another "Hulk" PC game is on the way. It doesn't look like a movie tie-in (someone PLEASE tell me they aren't making another "Hulk" movie... please!), but it promises to to suck just as badly as any before, which begs the question:

Can a licensed property become a good video game?

Things like comic books and movies sway big-time toward "No". I don't even know of any book adaptations that weren't movies first (James Bond, "From Russia With Love" is a good example). Don't point me toward the HHGTTG text adventure, or I will slap you with... a herring.

There is the exception of the "Lord of the Rings" games. While they weren't all superb, they managed to be better than passable as games. I tend to credit Peter Jackson with this, and with his love of Middle Earth. I can think of no other exceptions.

hopefully they won't make another "Hulk" anything.. well besides the comic. hopefully they will see the lack of interest the public has of seeing this happen again within everybodies life time.
