omg, i'm so excited, in october 2004 they are going to release a Nightmare Before Christmas game for PS2. it's going to be a playable sequel taking place one year after the events of the film. Oogie Boogie is resurrected, and is attacking halloween town and christmas town with an army of skeletons he's gathered. Jack is in hiding, not in halloween town or christmas town, but must come out of hiding to stop Boogie once and for all. He is armed with three costumes, each having different attacks: his normal clothes w/ a whiplike weapon called "the rubber soul," the pumpkin king clothes with fire-launching capabilities, and the santa suit, in which he can throw various presents to cripple the enemy. this will be VERY cool, b/c burton, as far as i know, is still involved w/ it.
in a related story, i cannot wait for jon davis (lead singer of korn)'s video game, Pop Scars. it will be a fighting game where music artists (most friends of Davis) will duke it out. i know what you're thinking, it's going to be shit. well davis said he wants it to be more like a mortal kombat or soul calibur type game, like a legit fighting game, not just some crappy fighting engine thrown together so people can play as celebrities fighting. first announced characters are: members of korn, members of staind, marilyn manson, and mary j. blige (?). blige's reps were unavailable for comment. jon does, however, want it to be a wide array, not just the loud, angst-ridden, kick-you-in-your teeth raprock. each player will have their own arena designed to fit their personality and style. arenas will also have traps in them that players can use to their advantage. all character designs are being done by a comic book artist to boot!! but, the game is currently in the early stages of development, so we probably won't be seeing it for a while.
