Heroes videogame no more
Given the show's premise, a "Heroes" videogame is kind of a no brainer.
But given the weak critical and, as far as I can tell, commercial performance of the "Lost" videogame, not to mention the falling ratings and critical problems of the show the past two seasons, giving up on the game right now also makes a lot of sense.
Which is why it's perhaps not shocking that, as MTV Multiplayer reported, Ubisoft has cancelled its "Heroes" game, a story we broke here in Variety last year, and returned the rights to NBC Universal.
It goes to show the problem with trying to turn a hot TV show into a videogame. By the time a game is even close to coming out, the series might no longer be popular.
Between those two titles and last year's crappy "Battlestar Galactica" and "Office" casual games, TV-based videogames aren't doing too well. Except of course for "The Simpsons Game." I guess if the show has been on more than 10 years, it might be safe bet for a game. Which also gives me hope for the "South Park" game coming to Xbox Live.
