Defiantely true, there are many great games out there, that if handled by people with talent and ambition, could be translated onto the screen very well. However, nobody seems to know how to do that effectively yet. All of the current films (Resident Evil series, Doom, Mario Bros., and yes, even Silent Hill), witht he exception of Mortal Kombat which was about as good as it could have been, sucked pretty badly, or at least didn't come close to their potential. I remember being vastly disappoited by the 'Silent Hill' film especially. But games like Half- Life, Metal Gear Solid, Halo, Gears of War, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, etc. all have great stories and could be turned into rather good films if handled with care.

So will the animated prequel come before or after the comic book prequel? Christ, that's a lot of stuff for a game no one has played yet. What if it sucks/bombs?

(I know in story terms it comes AFTER the comic, I mean as far as release, which will come first)

I met a WOMAN who works for the Dead Space team who was looking for the retail version of the comic I of course work at a comic book store as a part time job and I hadn't seen it there is a copy at the EA dev team lounge but I guess it's all the production art and not final retail version and I haven't seen it
