Luke recently posted a link to a site that has some information on an upcoming game based off the movie 'Fight Club.'

My first reaction was to laugh. Seeing the screen capture of a CGI Tyler Durden standing over a knocked out Jack was hysterical. It seems really funny that some computer company actually got asked to make a fighting style game based off a movie that was as complicated as 'Fight Club.' It seems really silly.

I can't honestly imagine how they are going to bring the themes of that movie and put it in a video game. And the weird thing is, is that they're marketing 'Fight Club' as if it were a fighting game. It'd be one thing if they makers of the game made a RPG type of game where you had to navigate yourself through the world of 'Fight Club,' but this game looks as if it's going to be more along the lines of the 'Tekken' fighting games that pits person vs. person. It seems to me that the entire point of 'Fight Club' in movie form was that violence was not the way to go. In movie form, the underground 'Fight Clubs' brought nothing but destruction to those who fought. It's kinda sad that a movie like this is going to be trivialized into an all out, bare knuckled fighting game.
