Saw the Game
Posted by David under News

At a recent press event, Brash Entertainment announced plans of releasing a game based on the ridiculously violent movie franchise, Saw, to be released sometime around October 9th, 2009. Many are speculating this gore-fest will serve up some of the same delights as Manhunt before it, specifically, boat-loads of super-violence.
This, of course, can be fun, but if it’s anything like the movies, it’s going to be a pure, unmitigated effort to gross you out with the most contemptible crap the world has ever seen. How many ways can we chop up a human head? What would be the worst thing we make the player do, whilst having to strum “We’ve only just begun” on the mandolin?
Theoretically, it could be presented well, but like most movies converted to video games, it’ll be a haphazard attempt to jam the player into various alternate plot lines from several movies and ultimately, will totally suck balls. Not unlike the movies.
Side note: Joystiq. Please refrain from inventing terms to describe this sort of stuff. Gornography (with the explanation gore-porn, or gorno, for short) is retarded and it already has a name, you morons. It’s called snuff. You’re not clever.
