Rebellion is a UK based games development mob who I discovered while sneakily looking for games tester jobs (or anything else I could find) instead of looking for real jobs.

It turns out they have purchased the rights to the entire character portfolio of 2000AD and are therefore going to start pumping out some incredibly awesome shit.

Or they're going to fuck it all up.

Which is why I am applying for a job with them, so hopefully I can keep them in line and prevent them from destroying our childhoods.

P.S. This may be a dupe, I can't remember rightly

Holy Shit. Good timing too, seeing as I just WON A PS2 !!! - for paying Jassie's swimming fees early. My wish list: ABC warriors shooters, Slaine RPG, Nemesis RPG - that'll do for a start. Oh and a GOOD Dredd game. Are there any?

Is Dredd vs Death any good?
- and they're working on 2 Dredd films, as they're poms they'll probably do it properly this time. YAY!

I was going to say it would be impossible to do a good Dredd game cause the comics were so shallow, but then I realised that makes it perfect for a mass GTA style game, complete freedom in a Grand Theft Auto sized city where you just ride around & bust people at will or do the bigger missions.

When I was reading 2000AD as a teenager I got bored of the Dredd side of it pretty quickly, they never convincingly wrote stories where you thought dredd was actually a chance of losing, which makes it perfect for a big game like taht.

Slain & Nemesis RPG's & ABC Warriors game would be fucking rad.

I still don't hold out much hope for dredd movies, but they couldnt' possibly be worse than the last one.

I dunno, they could get Lucas to make it and have some CGI character giving you the shits the whole time.

Or Spielberg could direct and have Leo as Dredd and all the bad guys played by actors from Party of Five.

I know! Dredd should be played by both of the Olsen twins pinned to a mountain of dildos and they can go around busting tentacles that are breaking the law, forcing them to vigourously pump the girls until the static discharge sends them to a parallel universe where schoolgirls have teeth in their vaginas.

Cool.

Wouldn't it be sweet if they said "Hey, Sin City was extremely violent, and that was a cool film, let's do Judge Dredd RIGHT" and made it jaw-dropping.

A CG-heavy ABC Warriors film about the time wastes story would be rad. Or anything from Nemesis. I think 8ball's right, Dredd was often the weakest story.
