 Man, I'm already am excited for this TANG! 
But it begs the question, why this game?

Well, why this game? Its a Historical Epic. With MORE violenece, and little good story. I could see this being movie on the Sci-Fi channel (NOT SYFY)

I would rather watch a Tony Hawk: RIDE movie.

They pretty much say that about most games these days. Remember when there were those movies for Halo, Bioshock, Gears of War, and talks of an Infamous movie? So far the only one I've seen that is actually being released is Prince of Persia. If the above games couldn't get a movie made, I highly doubt darkest of days will go past preproduction.

By all means...the game isn't a terrible concept for a decent movie... 
 
...BUUUUUT we know how this is going to end.

Good games =/ Bad Movie
Bad Games =/ Good movie?

What happened to this?

Probably the same thing that happened to the Halo, Bioshock, Gears of War, and Infamous movies.

And we're better off for it.

It has a very interesting premise.
