If you haven’t read about Dexter from Re:Generator’s Best Of 2007 Television, haven’t seen the show, or don’t even know who Michael C. Hall is, this may not interest you.
But for those of us who eagerly followed each episode on Showtime (and had to catch up via On Demand), devouring the internal monologue of everyone’s favourite serial killer with his own peculiar morals and basking in the wondrousness that is Michael C. Hall – oh, and if you happen to like video games – this will be interesting news.
A Dexter-based video game is in the works for all known consoles. Am I dreaming? Darkly dreaming, perhaps? No, it’s the real deal. Gamers will be able to become even more immersed in the world and minds of characters from the darkly amusing TV show inspired by the books written by Jeffrey Lindsay.
At the helm with Showtime Networks is Marc Ecko Entertainment. Ecko is mainly known for fashion, but emerged onto the gaming scene with 2005’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, which I have never heard of. It seems it was released on the PS2 and original Xbox, combining graffiti tagging with street fighting…? Sounds like Jet Set Radio Future gone urban, if you ask me. At any rate, reviewers gave it mad props, which could be testimony to Ecko’s ability to produce quality games – which in turn is good news for Showtime Networks.
