Brash Announces SAW Videogame - Another movie cash-in or survival horror contender?

Rejoice, torture porn fans! Brash Entertainment has heard your desperate pleas for more graphic violence and more disturbing imagery in this current soft and snuggly climate of video gaming.
Enter SAW -- a videogame based off the popular series of hyperviolent horror/suspense movies. Announced today, the new title is under development at Brash Entertainment in association with both Lions Gate Films and Twisted Pictures, with creative input from SAW series creators Leigh Whannell and James Wan.
A short press release from Brash declares that the title will "pull no punches" delivering "the horrifying suspense and disbelief that has floored fans worldwide!" It also mentions that SAW will be built using the Unreal 3 engine and is currently in development for next-gen platforms only.
A small website promoting the game is currently up at www.whoisjigsaw.com -- though sadly it seems to largely consist of a news signup form and some rotating images right now.
Considering that the SAW franchise in general has successfully carved out a (particularly bloody) niche in the world of established horror with $500 million in sales and 15 million DVDs sold to date, there's every reason to believe that a well-executed game based on the same proposition could find some resonance in gaming's survival horror canon. Naturally, the absence of Wii controls seems a rather glaring omission in a title like SAW, but considering how bungled the application of a similar concept (not to mention the ensuing media frenzy) was in Manhunt 2, it's probably for the best.
We're sure the Parents Television Council will have plenty to say about this one -- though as we all know, baroque first person interactive jaw breaking contraptions must necessarily take a back seat to tastefully presented sex when it comes to the world of real media controversy.

'Mad Men' wins at the Golden Globes

Challenging and dark, "Mad Men" is a patient exercise in riveting television -- and the Golden Globes noticed.
The series, recently picked up by CTV, won two awards Sunday night.
"Mad Men" picked up the award for "Best TV series, Drama," beating out "Grey's Anatomy" and "House."
The series made its debut last year in the U.S. on "AMC."
Jon Hamm, who stars in the series as Don Draper, the creative director for Sterling Cooper advertising agency, picked up the Golden Globe for "Best actor, TV series drama."
"Mad Men" follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of advertising in New York City.
The series depicts the sexual exploits and social mores of this innovative yet ruthless profession; providing an unflinching look at the ad-men and women who shape the hopes and dreams of Americans on a daily basis.
