Close on the heels of the Lego Batman PS3, Dexter, of the popular television series, is all set to be made into yet another video game. Marc Ecko entertainment signed a production deal with Showtime Networks to make the video game based on the television series character. The game is being developed to work on a number of platforms ranging from the PS3 to the Xbox360. A developer for the games is yet to be named. For those who haven’t a clue about the Dexter television series, don’t mistake it for Cartoon Networks’ Dexter’s Lab. This Dexter is a little more serious. Basically, Dexter is a forensic blood expert for the Miami Dade Police Department, who also happens to be a serial killer, thankfully, he kills only criminals. This TV series has completed two successful seasons in the USA and is based on novels by Jeff Lindsay.
Marc Fernandez, the vice president of Marc ecko entertainment has been quoted saying,
‘Dexter’ is the extremely rare TV show with enough layers of action and tension to translate perfectly into a compelling videogame.Our game designers, writers, and artists are going to give Dexter’s morally complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love.
Now, on how the game turns out, only time will tell. Expect the game to hit stores late 2008. With more and more games based on television series hitting the consoles, console gamers can expect a rich picking in the near future.
