If there was ever a character that deserved his own beat-em-up it was Rorschach. With his ferocious fighting styles, homicidal tendencies and disdain to all that dare to tread immoral ground. The Watchmen and the Beat-Em-Up genre could really be the perfect mix. Couldn’t they?

With the release of the Watchmen film it was the perfect chance for Deadline Games to release a Watchmen game that takes place before the events of the movie and also give us a bit more insight into two main characters featured in said movie. Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Compilation collects the two episodes that are also available separately via XBLM or PSN on the one disc for a pretty decent price point of $49.95 and even though a lot of you may have already played Episode 1 of Watchmen: The End Is Nigh as it was released back in March as downloadable content …read more
