If ever a character was born to headline a video game, it’s RoboCop. His main interaction with the world is through violence, and he’s capable of taking immense punishment from enemy henchmen in the process. As dystopic Detroit’s lone cyborg enforcer, he’s the center of every story, always entrusted with some critical mission. All the little quirks we’ve accepted as inherent to a center-of-the-universe video game protagonist are simply part of his character.
The only problem is that RoboCop isn’t very nimble. He’s unable to crouch or jump, and he can’t move at a pace faster than a brisk stroll. The ideal RoboCop game, then, likely involves the static shootouts of a light gun cabinet. But those are out of fashion, so RoboCop: Rogue City is instead a shooter with light open-world elements, RPG progression, and no shortage of mechanized toddling between quest markers.

American World Pictures has posted info and trailers on its website for several new films the company is handling distribution for. I expect we'll be seeing more of this in the next few days with so much wheelin' & dealin' going on at the Cannes Film Festival. Of particular interest to our readers are a new Predator clone with Kevin Sorbo and some lycan horror starring Costas Mandylor and a frequently naked Christa Campbell.
First up is Flesh Wounds with TV "Hercules" Kevin Sorbo leading a squad of soldiers being stalked by a cybernetic super soldier run amok in the woods. With Predators coming out this summer, it shouldn't come as any big surprise to see Predator knock-offs making a comeback as well - at least this one thus far.
