EDGE: "When a lauded novelist and screenwriter – of a zombie movie, no less – shows an interest in making videogames, the phone rings off the hook, right? Wrong, says Alex Garland, whose works include The Beach, The Tesseract, 28 Days Later and what looked like being the Halo movie. An avid gamer keen to take videogame narrative to the next level, he endured years of rejection before Ninja Theory, well underway on its action odyssey Enslaved (which we recently reviewed), decided to enlist his services. Meeting us at the outset of his latest project, a new Judge Dredd movie starring Karl Urban, he finds time to pass some sentences of his own."

In 2010 actor Andy Serkis and Annihilation's Alex Garland made an amazing video game. And nobody played it.
i played it and it was not really a good game. lame story, lame engine, ok optics equals utter mediocrity. no wonder it got overlooked by most.
Yeah, plus Alex Garland is a hack that thinks dropping F bombs is an adequate replacement for good writing.
Oh yeah, and where do I need to go next? Oh, I wonder if it is that FLASHING PLATFORM? /s
I mean...I'm left disagreeing with the first half of this comment but agreeing with the second. I'm in a bind!
They guy's no stranger to a flop or two, but he has legit talent when it comes to scripts and behind the camera. Ex Machina as your directorial debut? That's damn good work.
This game is a sleeper hit I played it and enjoyed it a lot I would say hurry up and grab it cheap before it goes poof forever.
I enjoyed this game. Definitely overlooked by many. I don't think it had that AAA money or support to back it.
