Abrams&#8217; reboot of the series in 2009&#8242;s Star Trek. Now the sequel &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/heres-the-new-star-trek-into-darkness-trailer-2012-12\">Into Darkness<\/a> &#8211; is almost upon us, and you know what that means, right? Yep, another hastily put together movie tie-in that will most assuredly disappoint. <\/p>\n<p>I realize that such an early assessment is really unfair, but Gearbox Software had more than five years to get Aliens right. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/aliens-sequel-video-game-out-today-reviews-are-not-good-2013-02\">They flubbed that<\/a>, so forgive me if I don&#8217;t think Digital Extremes can make a competent Star Trek game in a year and a half. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"616\" height=\"347\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0YiiBkW02ps?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Oh wait, this actually looks kind of good. Sure, it doesn&#8217;t look like classic Star Trek, but it looks a helluva lot like J.J. Abrams&#8217; Star Trek universe. That&#8217;s only a good thing in my book as his universe is far friendlier to what video games need to succeed as adaptations. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe we can give Digital Extremes the benefit of the doubt here. After all, the studio is responsible for one of the best games of 2012 &#8211; The Darkness II. The developer proved it could take a license and craft an awesome game around it then. What&#8217;s to stop them from doing it now? <\/p>\n<p>Of course, an adaptation of a comic book gives developers more freedom than a film adaptation, but being allowed to craft their own story that&#8217;s not tied to the events of either film may just help it along. I don&#8217;t think any of us will have any complaints as long as it doesn&#8217;t end up like Aliens: Colonial Marines. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=MlyuXYG14MQ:ux-jZrltCOw:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/MlyuXYG14MQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Trek is more popular than ever thanks to J.J.
