I'll be looking forward to Hanso's review of the game. :)

You know if Cameron approved it will be good. I think this is the first time a game was developed like this in conjunction with the film. I think Cameron said a while back that he used ideas of theirs and vice versa. I guess gamers will have a better insight on Pandora since it is canon but Cameron did say that the storylines are completely seperate which is good cause I don't play

It's not the first time - I forget which ones have - but those didn't fair too well either.  I think the Spider-man ones were.  Although Spiderman 2 was good.  Hopefully, this one does.

I'll wait for reviews on this before I buy it.  Usually tie in movie games suck...and just because Cameron is a good film maker doesn't make him an expert on games.

 There's nothing about this project that would make me think the game is going to be anything but spectacular. I'm thinking history books will look back on this as a seminal event in the history of entertainment, the fusion of movies and computer games.  Sure, there's been plenty of video game takes on movies, but this is probably the first time that the computer graphics were so important for each and shared in both mediums. From now on, any producer or director of a fantasy or science fiction flick is going to think more positively about creating one asset for both. That's my take.

I'm glad they are giving the game it's own story. That way i won't be distracted with comparing the game to the movie, or anticipating what's going to happen next. i love games with a cinematic experience.
