I never hold out much hope for any Film tie-in games, but I do like the SAW films so I’ll keep an eye open for this. Now that Resident Evil has gone all ‘Action Movie’ in style, there is a gap in the horror games market for a good old claustrophobic lights-out scarathon (think Resi 1’s mansion)! Although having said that SAW has been more about the gore than the scares.

I’ll be interested to see where they go with it, I would assume that puzzles and moral choices would feature quite heavily, but how will they get around the problem of it not having anyone to shoot at as SAW is about you vs JigSaw’s traps and not vs any tangible enemy as such? That could be quite difficult to pull off in a game… unless he creates an army of JigSaw puppets!

Oh, that would never happen! I’m being silly.

depending if this one spoils the next installation in the series, imaginatively titled “Saw 6″, due out in October or not.

Don’t buy those DVD/Blu-ray boxed sets just yet.

I imagine that if Rockstar Games had trouble gaining certification through the various censorship boards for “Manhunt 2″ this will be just as controversial.

A pity the human subjects were not digitalised from motion capture, but the rest of the environments look authentic, and with Konami publishing the title it should be a worthwhile purchase.

BFN,

Do I win if I just smack the bloke laying in the middle of the room?
