Watchmen: The End is Nigh Details Turn Your Brain Into a Squid

This week, the film version of Watchmen is released on DVD/Bluray. Along with the movie comes the second half of the tie in game, Watchmen: The End is Nigh. You'll recall that the first part was made available when the movie was released in theaters this past spring. The pricing and release date information have been made available, and it's so confusing that your brain just might turn into a mildly telepathic alien squid when you try to comprehend it.

Tomorrow, July 21, sees two releases. One is the Xbox 360 version of The End is Nigh, including parts 1 and 2, retailing for $30. The other is Watchmen: The End is Nigh The Complete Experience. This package combines the Extended Director's Cut of the film with the PS3 version of parts 1 and 2 of the game. "Exclusive artwork in a premium package" is also promised, all for $50.

What if you already have part 1? You'll have to wait a bit for your Watchmen game fix. The End is Nigh part 2 releases July 29 for PC, July 30 for PSN, and all the way back on August 26 on Xbox Live Arcade. Part 2 will set you back $15. See? Told you your brain would mutate.

Well that is just dumb, we have already paid more then a XBL game normally sells for and now they make us wait over a month to get the second part if we already purchased the first!.

I'm a Watchman fanboy and I don't think the game is worth it (from what I played of the demo). Does the PC version have online co-op? I hated how the console versions only had offline play.

i expect the 2nd part of the game to have at least 100 hours of gameplay, to match the drawn out feeling you get from the 2nd half of the film

I started on the second one so far the first one was actually better which isnt saying much since there was only one boss and 7 moves each. The 2nd part seems to be even more linear so far.

I will say I am a sucker for beat em ups so I am ok with it and the cut scenes are nice, but it is pricey.
