There have been
plenty of editorials around the web complaining about the lack of
quality writing in videogames, and how publishers need to go out and get
more of the people who normally do this sort of stuff of film and
television involved with creating game narrative. Well, it seems
that Activision was paying attention to this, as they have brought on
both Zak
Penn, and Chris
Claremont to write the story for their upcoming game X-Men: The Official
Game.
For those who
are unfamiliar with these names, Zak Penn is the chap who wrote the
story and screenplay for the upcoming X-Men movie, X-Men: The Last
Stand, while Chris Claremont is a prominent comic book writer.
