One of my favourites from the old 2000AD comics is being turned into a game for the PS2, XBox and PC.
Rebellion (owners of 2000AD) have announced they will be making Rogue Trooper.
For those that never heard of it before, Rogue Trooper is a genetically enhanced soldier, who was created as the ultimate weapon for fighting on the totally polluted Nu Earth.
His only company is his three friends, Helm, Gunnar & Bagman who were killed in action, but live on in the form of three microchips attached to Rogue's equipment.
The series was created in 1981 and ran until 1984, though he made various comebacks through the years, and his most recent story in 2000AD was in March.
The original story had Rogue roving Nu Earth looking for the man who betrayed his battalion to be massacred, and this is the story the game will be based on.
Details are scant about what the game will be like, but there are some screenshots available on the official site.
