  • Watchmen: The End is Nigh (PS3)

    A treasure constantly blurring the lines between "graphic" and "novel", Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' 1986 mini-series forever revolutionized the way that comic book stories were told. After heralding Watchmen as a literary masterpiece and landmark for the comic book industry, it's a bit of a culture shock to be handed a video game based off of the seminal story. Thankfully, independent developer Deadline Games of Total Overdose fame pulled off Watchmen's conversion to third-person brawler with surprising finesse, managing to capture the essence of the renowned comic into a short but sweet, must-have title for even the most hardened and stubborn Watchmen fans, all the while leaving it entirely accessible to newcomers that don't know Dr. Manhattan from Dr. Seuss.
