Ubisoft is developing a game based on the upcoming Robert Zemeckis film adaptation of Beowulf. Not much has been revealed about this Ubi title, but while browsing EB Games (http://www.ebgames.com/comingsoon.asp?orderAscDesc=asc&strAscDesc=&linkpage=5&currentpage=1&sortby=eta&imageFlag=show&platform=31) website, we noticed a listing for a PSP version of the game. The listing could just be a mistake on EB's part (they do have incorrect listings from time to time), but it's more likely a sign that the demon killer is hitting Sony's portable.

For those that don't know the story of Beowulf, it involves a warrior slaying the mighty demon Grendel. After doing so though, he incurs the wrath of the Grendel's mother in a battle that will turn him into a legend. Demon slaying and games are old drinking buddies, so Beowulf may stand a chance of being a movie tie-in worth playing.

Let me know the name the bar/pub and I'm there as well. Movie games have been a tremendous disappointment on the PSP though but I always have hope.

Actually, games based on movies have been a tremendous disappointment on all consoles, with only a small number of exceptions. But this movie sounds cool, so I hope they'll make it good. Ubisoft usually make good games. If they really are making a Beowulf, I hope it'll be a PSP exclusive, or an exclusive on any console for that matter, as exclusive games usually are better than multi-console ones.
