Holy Crap!
Given that July is my birth month, I was contemplating a break from the blog; however, I stumbled upon this lovely treasure while surfing over at
gamesradar (my new favorite place to read about funny video game news):
A DEADPOOL VIDEO GAME
With the exception of
Batman's Arkham series and
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, I usually keep my distance from super hero games. So when I read about Deadpool's own game, I was slightly worried. Now Deadpool has made some great appearances in super hero games that I like (X-Men Legends 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance) and others that
I've never played. My only hope is that Deadpool retains his signature style and ridiculousness. If the website and trailer are any indication of what is to come, then this is indeed happening...a very good sign. Check out the
site and its social media connections. I just started following
Wade Wilson on twitter; this probably should have happened a long time ago.
What I'm most excited about Deadpool's foray into the world of video games is his ability (similar to Spider-Man's) to pull a character roster from all across the Marvel universe. He could get all the weird fringe characters and I'd still be happy. Even a little, mini Lego Deadpool level would be sweet. I have a Lego Deadpool minifig. I'm just saying.
With his trusty pistol in one hand and a vial of horse tranquilizer in the other, Lego Deadpool rides a pterodactyl soaring towards adventure and mayhem.
Unfortunately Lego Deadpool is not featured with a Lego pterodactyl. Someday. But the opportunity for more craziness like this is always present whenever Deadpool is around. Such craziness is what I am most anticipating in the Deadpool video game.
