Read Article » Go to VG_Staff's original post How stupid. It's another example of abusing a household name to sell any old ***** that comes to mind. I'm not going to bother but, I'm pretty sure between us we could list at least a hundred films based on the Space Invaders plot. Check out my digital arts portfolio..

Read Article » Go to VG_Staff's original post Please tell me you not serious right? I mean I know it won't have anything to do with space invader the game (except for maybe a cameo or something) but then would qwhy you use the name/ licience?

Read Article » Go to VG_Staff's original post At first this just sounds like a complete joke, but when you think about it it makes marketing sense (if that isn't an oxymoron). You could name dozens of films about aliens invading from space, this one will immediately garner more attention than those because it's 'official'. Much as munkee and MJTH mentioned, they do it to get attention. And it works! Plus I'm confident more people will see it than Generic Space Attack 4 so they make more money and they win.
