New War of the Worlds Video, The First Of The Arthur Diaries

Other Ocean Interactive have been tweaking and working hard on their upcoming cinematic platformer, The War of the Worlds. The title will be launching both for Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network later this year, and the developer has decided to give something to look at while we’re waiting to take a crack at the game.

The video posted below is the first in an upcoming series titled the “Arthur Diaries.” This series of videos will feature snippets of gameplay, each voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart himself. That being said, ENGAGE!

For a little background about The War of the Worlds, it’s a “dark and breathtaking new vision inspired by the classic H.G. Wells novel, retold as a single player, 2D action-adventure. The gameplay narrative parallels the timeline and events from the 1953 movie adaptation, but introduces a new story arc, characters, locations, and sub-plots,” as described by Reverb Games. Check out the video below to see some gameplay, and tell us what you think so far.
