$20 for 2 Hours of Co-Op Gaming? That's Watchmen: The End is Nigh

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo February 27th, 2009 at 2:01 PM

Two player co-op brawler Watchmen: The End is Nigh hits PCs, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network next week. The game is touted as an old school beat em up set in the Watchmen universe. Various previews and interviews for the titles have shown the game's length to be somewhere in the neighborhood of about 2 hours.

The game's Steam Page has gone live and it shows a bit of an unexpected twist - a $20 price tag for the game. What you say? That's right, the game is going to cost you just as much - if not more - in the entertainment hour to dollar ratio as the movie.

There's no official word if this is going to be the price for the console version, afterall Bionic Commando was much less on the consoles than the PC. Still I think someone got a little to close to the crack pipe on this one.

The price is most definitely ridiculous. There is no way I would spend that much money on such a short game.

As much as I loved watchmen, theres no way I will pony up 20 bucks for this, probably DL the demo though.

I've defended a lot of games' pricing (Braid, Castle Crashers, Penny Arcade), because I really felt I got my value out of them. But this...no. Bring something interesting to the table, and I'll buy it. But no premiums just for a nifty license.
