Wii News from N4G | The Golden Compass
Wii - The Golden Compass - Warren Spector Tried to Make The Golden Compass? 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 & Evil), at the helm. It mostly worked.

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.

Wii News from N4G | The Golden Compass
Wii - The Golden Compass - SEGA E3 Line-up In years past, publishers have used the Electronic Entertainment Expo to announce new games, taking advantage of the global audience tuned in to the trade show. However, as it did last year, Sega has played the bricklayer, paving its road to E3 well in advance with announcements for games such as Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, Ghost Squad, and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. However, while the publisher isn't using the annual trade show as a venue for its big reveal, Sega's lineup includes many games whose details have been sparse at best.
