Showtime’s Dexter is arguably one of the greatest shows on television as of late and it happens to be one of my favorites, too. So I’m happy to announce, or at the very least, inform you all that Dexter will soon be coming to an iPhone/iPod Touch near you, says Marc Ecko. TV Squad was on hand on at Comic Con for the panel and learned a few more details. It’ll include using SMS, gestures, phone calls, and be an “episodic” game. I will actually pay for this game when it comes out. I also can’t wait for the season premiere. → Read More
“Our game designers, writers, and artists are going to give Dexter’s morally complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love.” Actually, since Dexter is a psychopath, his world is very much not complex morally. Since I assume you’d be playing the titular antihero, the very idea of the game is flawed, since the players’ emotions basically allow them to “cheat,” since they know the correct response in social situations. Unless it’s a game where the object is to emulate psychopathy, I don’t think it will be either true to the show (which is surprisingly good) or, if history is our guide, a good game.
