Scott Pilgrim

It's fair to say that most video games based on movies or comic books suck. There are a few exceptions -- "Spider-Man 2," "Marvel vs. Capcom" -- but by and large, if it's a tie-in, conventional wisdom suggests you get a friend to buy it so you can play it at their house without wasting your hard-earned cash...

At this point, I'm going to go ahead and guess that everyone's hip to this whole "Scott Pilgrim" thing: The movie's coming out this Friday, a video game that hit the PlayStation Network and a soundtrack album that both dropped yesterday, and the final volume of the graphic novel series hit last month, finishing out six years of work from Bryan Lee O'Malley...

The hotly-anticipated "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game" goes on sale today, but before Ubisoft tapped the all-star team of pixel artist supreme Paul Robertson and chiptunes masters Anamanaguchi to bring the beloved Bryan Lee O'Malley graphic novel series (and its soon-to-be-released movie adaptation) to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, the title lived only in the fever dreams of tho

As you may have heard, the big screen adaptation of "Scott Pilgrim" hits theaters this week, and while I've already dropped my stamp of approval on the movie itself, there's another big aspect of it that hasn't seen much discussion: the soundtrack, which is currently streaming in its entirety on Spinner...

"Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" finally arrives in theaters this week, and having seen it already, I can tell you that Chris Evans is absolutely glorious as Lucas Lee.

With the August 13 release date of "Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World" just more than a week away, Universal Pictures is pulling out all the promotional stops to keep the movie on fankind's hivemind. Their latest effort, the SPvtW interactive trailer, combines a retro gaming aesthetic with an achievement-oriented fact-unlocking click quest...

Truth be told, "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game" doesn't need any outside assistance to become more awesome. Every single thing we've seen and heard about the very loose video game adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's comics and Edgar Wright's film indicates the experience was crafted by masters...

Despite siring a major motion picture, a corresponding video game and toys, Bryan Lee O'Malley's "Scott Pilgrim" hadn't quite made the leap to animation...until now! Slashfilm reports that at around midnight on August 12 Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block will air, "Scott Pilgrim vs the Animation," during the commercial breaks of its regular programming...

Adaptations of an original work traditionally follow a pretty standard path: Comic becomes movie, movie becomes video game. In the case of the anything-but-conventional "Scott Pilgrim" series by Bryan Lee O'Malley, however, tradition takes a back seat to creativity, with the comic, movie and video game each feeding off of one another in ways sure to please fans...
