Space Chimps doesn't look like a game based on a movie


Brash Entertainment just shot over some new screens for their upcoming game, Space Chimps. It's based on a soon-to-be-released movie of the same name. Check out the boxart above, then hit up the gallery for some more screens. For a game that's based on a movie, it doesn't look all that bad.

If you want more, there's a video embedded past the post break, also.

Alvin and the Chipmunks might be worse than Cruis'n


Well, maybe we're jumping to conclusions, but we'll be damned if it looks like it's any fun, to be honest. The Chipmunks cover here from the upcoming rhythm-based game Alvin and the Chipmunks looks like a prelude to disaster, as we can't imagine getting through one track, let alone a whole game's worth, without pulling all of our hair out.

So, are we just being too harsh or does this game look as bad as we think it does?

Alvin and the Chipmunks game is a Samba-alike


It would appear from the screenshots that the Wii game based on the nightmarish Alvin and the Chipmunks movie will be a rhythm game in the vein of Samba de Amigo or EyeToy: Groove, in which players position the controllers toward one corner of the screen in time with scrolling icons. Both of those games are pretty good, but they aren't Alvin and the Chipmunks movie games. Much like Alvin, we'd prefer a hula hoop.

Along with some Chipmunks classics (like "The Chipmunk Song" and, uh ...) the game will contain "more than 40 songs" including "Heartbreak Hotel", "It's Tricky" and "Shiny Happy People". All Chipmunk-ized. We're so glad that the real Samba game is coming out, so we don't even have to try to play this.
