Below, the trailer for the downloadable XBLA/PSN title “War of The Worlds” – which adapts H.G. Wells’ original version of the story into the format of a 2D sidescoller leaning heavily on the “alien lights in pitch-darkness” visual scheme. Yes, please.

I will absolutely buy this game if it has Sir Patrick Stewart reading the book throughout the experience.

My mind makes pleasant associations between Stewart's role here, and Richard Burton's turn as the narrator-protagonist in Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. (If you're partial to mid-70s prog-rock a la Alan Parsons and the Moody Blues it's a must-listen; otherwise you might find it self-indulgent and boring.)
