This, frankly, would have been amazing - the books fit him like a glove. Their themes of alternate parallel universes, their steampunk mentality, the weighty references to works of literature, their hive of moral ambiguity, and the homosexual angels would have been right up his street. This game could have been a legendary RPG, and it wouldn't have shied away ...<br/> review Jan 24, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-golden-compass/screenshots/g-20070227103349410069 screenshot Jan 24, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-96499.aspx <img src="http://m2.n4g.com/8/News/96000/96499_hs.jpg" /><br />1UP expects most movie videogames to be less-than-memorable. Occasionally, a few that break the mold (King Kong, Lord of the Rings), but traditionally they exist solely to pad a publisher's bottom line. Such expectations mostly played true with the adaptation of The Golden Compass, which was actually an adaptation of the first book in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials children's fantasy series. With King Kong, Ubisoft tried to break the mold by putting one of their best designers, Michel Ancel (Beyond Good &amp; Evil), at the helm. It mostly worked. <br> <br> What if something similar had happened to The Golden Compass, a universe full of richly complex characters and mythologies? There's plenty to play with, given the right creative minds. Of course, that didn't happen, but apparently System Shock and Deus Ex designer Warren Spector, now working on a to-be-revealed project with Disney, was interested in bringing His Dark Materials to life.<br/> news Jan 3, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-golden-compass/preview/the-golden-compass-updated-impressions/a-2007110594130817080/g-20070227103349410069 Nov 5, 2007 Frankly, anyone who's read the His Dark Materials trilogy should want to experience the game and film almost as much as wanting a monkey-shaped demon of their own. By now, the film trailer will be playing in cinemas and you'll probably have seen the amazingly recreated world of Jordan College, Bolvangar and the North on screen for yourself. And we can report that the game - which is being developed by Shiny - is shaping up to have all the best bits from the film, and more on top of ...<br/> preview Nov 5, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-golden-compass/videos/g-20070227103349410069/v-2007070913910858028 The PC version sucks just as bad as (if not worse than) its console siblings. video Jul 9, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-golden-compass/preview/the-golden-compass/a-20070510171553924080/g-20070227103349410069 With all the success of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter films spilling over onto our consoles its hardly a surprise that were about to be up to our comically large sleeves in anything remotely wizardly. But you wont hear fantasy fans complaining, as the much beloved, million-selling His Dark Materials series kicks off this winter with the release of The Golden Compass in theaters and every console known to man or beast.

Sega's game sticks closely to the screenplay adaptation of the novel. Players will assume the role of the trilogy's main character Lyra as well as Iorek Byrnison, a warrior polar bear whom Lyra befriends during her adventure. Accompanied by her demon Pantalaimon, Lyra's adventures begin when she goes in search of a friend kidnapped ...<br/> news Feb 27, 2007
