Kuma Games and Spike TV have announced a partnership to create an online multiplayer game based on the mini-series, “The Kill Point.” The series, which will total eight hours, centers around a group of Iraq War veterans who plan a bank robbery that goes horribly wrong. Kuma will release several episodes of their game, starting with the Market Place level that is currently available for download for free on their website. The game will be built using the Source engine and will allow for up to 16 players to battle it out simultaneously. Says Vin Farrell, director of production at Spike TV Digital Media:
“‘The Kill Point’ is a perfect property to extend from the linear channel to the PC screen. We have created original webisodes on spiketv.com and now with the launch of the new online game, we’re giving our viewers an all-encompassing entertainment experience. ‘The Kill Point’ game is great for fans of the show as well as gamers who want a great PC action game to play.”
Ironically, I was watching “The Kill Point” just as I received this announcement in my inbox. It’s a pretty decent show so far, despite the less-than-original premise; so I decided to download the game to see what it was like. Unfortunately it wasn’t until after I tried to run it that I realized it wasn’t compatible with Windows Vista, so the gameplay was extremely choppy. However, technical difficulties aside, I was able to get a decent impression of it. It pretty much functions like a stripped down version of the original Counterstrike, where you don’t buy your weapons and the action is more frenzied. You simply play as either the cops or the robbers and try to shoot the other. Still, it looked fun and the level reminded me of the shootout in the movie, “Heat.”
that show is off the chain!!
