While I am still mourning the series finale of FOX’s Prison Break, its name has popped up in the world of video games. Publisher Deep Silver is set to make the Prison Break game for “next-gen consoles and the PC.” There is no word on a release date. I am not sure how I feel about a video game based on Prison Break, a coveted TV show of mine. If it is done right and can shed some light on lingering mysteries of Season 1, I have no doubt it will have fans of the show flock to game stores to pick it up. I will keep my head to the ground for this one.
According to Gamespot: “Prison Break the game features a storyline that runs parallel with the first season of Fox’s TV series. The game follows Company agent Tom Paxton, who is sent to Fox River State Penitentiary to investigate why TV series protagonist Michael Scofield is doing time for bank robbery. The game incorporates a number of characters from the TV show and also depicts a number of climactic first-season events from Paxton’s perspective.”
