They made a console Blade Runner game? How did I miss that?
Jackson's Kong videogame being a hit doesn't really surprise me. Jackson was somewhat involved in the hack-and-slash Lord of the Rings console titles' development. You could tell then that he and those involved "got" it. Even though it's a hack-and-slash, it's one of the best hack-and-slash games you'll find, with a fantastic presentation. You could tell there was effort behind it to not make it a throwaway game, which it easily could have been.
LOTR Third Age isn't a hack-and-slash. It's more a Final Fantasy-type game and it's addictive.
