You might remember
us talking about the Sin City game a while back. If not here's a refresher on what this game is all about (and why I'm so stoked about it!)

Jackass the Game developer Red Mile Entertainment has acquired the rights for an exclusive "multi-year, worldwide" licence to develop and publish games based on the series. The financial details of the transaction are not known.
Red Mile's CEO, Chester Aldridge, commented on the deal, "Sin City enjoys a broad and devoted following. Its crime noir settings, richly detailed characters, hyper-real action sequences, and engaging stories provide an outstanding groundwork for video games."
Love the movie...hope to love the game. There's a few more lines from the Red Mile press release that you can read if you're bored but it looks to be very early in the stages on this one so don't start wondering where screenshots are just yet. But at least they got the license which means the ball is rolling.

Well the latest news is that the award winning writer from the
Chronicles of Riddick series is working along side of Frank Miller to create the game. Here's a bit from

Red Mile has snapped up the creative talents of Flint Dille to cobble together its Sin City game.
He will be overseeing general production of the project as well as both designing and writing it, and brings experience from "Story of the Year" winning work on The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and Dead to Rights.
Dille is also a personal friend of Sin City creator Frank Miller, and the chummy pair are having a blast dreaming up weird and wonderful things to put in the game, apparently.
"Frank and I have been having a party coming up with nasty stuff for the game," blurted Dille in a statement. "In true Sin City fashion, some old characters will return, new characters will appear and -- without giving anything away -- probably die horribly."

I'd love to see them make the game intertwine with the movie. You'd be playing along with the script, interacting with characters we know from the movie but not changing the outcome of the film at all. Such a cool idea!
