Hellboy Video Game

Enough movies based on video-games! Let's see how it works the other way around: a game ispired by a movie - in many cases such games are not that good or as impressive as the movies that inspired the developers but in the case of Hellboy, we might be looking at a good upcoming title. Actor Ron Perlman, who plays as Hellboy in both films and animations, has arranged with Konami to bring the red character in the game "Hellboy: The Science of Evil". In an e-mail-interview, Ron says: "I do not play video games, so I am unfamiliar with the finished product of the Hellboy game"(...) "I can only judge it on the level of what my experience acting the roles offered to me was like. And I thought the writing for the game was smart and well realized, with the extra added attraction of Guillermo’s personal involvement in the project." The game is scheduled to ship in June 2008.
