Good, short article here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/ga ... ameculture I'd like to see a Kingpin RTS game where you got to be 'King of New York', occasionally keeping the likes of Spider-man and the Punisher at bay  A Crow game could be good too  Who would you like to see, hero or villain? |

Chopper from 2000AD, maybe. Board racing through the cursed earth could be fun. |

I had to look Chopper up (I really should read more of the Dredd/2000AD stuff I've got at some point  ), he'd be a great game character Strontium Dog would be another

Strontium Dog has been done, as has Dredd. 2000AD is owned by Rebellion. |

The Dredd games have been universally awful. A 'Cursed Earth' game done a bit like Fallout 3 would be cool. You'd be better off getting the WipeOut boys to do a Chopper game. Just as long as you get to blow up Sting at the end. Jon |

I know there was a Dog game for the C64 or Spectrum, but has there been a 'proper' game?   The Dredd games I've played would have been brilliant with better execution ( ) - the Megadrive game was quite well made but let down by fiddly controls, as was vs Judge Death on multiple formats, and nearly impossible to play due to the ridiculous difficulty level IIRC Oh, there was an awful lightgun game for the PS1 also... it had all the atmosphere of those Tin Can Alley kids' games

Scott Pilgrim? Milk & Cheese? |

^ From what I read about Pilgrim after hearing about the upcoming film, it sounds like it would make for a good game

Just read the 5 books after someone at work loaned me them. Good fun, I think it'd make a good, wide-interest game, instead of just another FPS. For M&C, I'd love it to be a side-scroller platform number. |

I had never heard of that before, I'm looking into trying to get it cheap now, thanks! Oh, and it's definitely a game I'd like to see

None. All comic book characters should be left alone and computer games creators should think up their own ideas. Mark |

I know what you're getting at, but some comic book games have been very good (Batman: Arkham Asylum apparently, the first few PS1/2 Spider-man games etc). It's the same with films, a good story to begin with... some films and games don't even have that much! |

How did I ever forget about Deadpool? Probably will get his own game and film eventually, after Reynolds finishes Green Lantern and they decide what happens next with the character in terms of the theatrical disaster that was Wolverine Oh yeah, The Losers could make for an excellent game too (it'll be a film soon n'all)

See also: The Goon - it has zombies, violence, perversion, monsters, and all the other stuff that would make a good game!  And apparently its being made into a movie too... |
