Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

There’s a new game on the shelves today which bundles the two The Watchmen: The End Is Nigh downloadable games from the PSN together on one disk and The Watchmen blu-ray release on the other. There was some confusion about whether the games would be on the same disk as the movie, or if the movie would be the Director’s Cut or not, or if the movie would even be a blu-ray release. Even our own Joe Fourhman struggled to understand the multitude of options on his blog recently.

This release looks like a regular PS3 game box as you can see. It does, at least according to HD-Report, contain the Director’s Cut with 25 additional minutes of footage cut from the theatrical release, and this is a two-disc release with the movie on one disc and the two games on another. The second game, incidentally, will be released on the PSN (and Xbox Live) in a few weeks.

Initial reports indicated that this would be a hybrid release with the games and the movie on the same disc, so I’m a little bit disappointed that this isn’t what happened, but taking a step back from it it’s easy to see that would be very inefficient. Plucking the standard blu-ray off the shelf and packing it into what amounts to a standard game release makes much more sense from a production point of view.

I’ll be hunting for a rental of the Blu-ray of this next week when friends come by for a movie night. Netflix is reporting a “Very Long Wait” on the DVD version alone.
