If The Internet Movie Database, or IMDb, has it right, then we're looking at the stars cast for the upcoming film based on the Namco Bandai fighting game series, Tekken. As it is, the cast listing indicates that Jackie Chan, WWE Superstar Dave Batista, and Ron Perlman are all in it. Who're they playing? Read up and find out.

Propaganda Games' Turok (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, PC) is right around the corner, and if you're yet to be excited over its February 5 release, here's one of those Awakening the Giants "the making" videos that could pique your interest. On the spot is the dinosaur-infested first-person shooter's level designs and the voices who bring characters to life. Find the video at the full article.

A few prominent Hollywood actors have signed on to lend their voices to Turok (PS3, Xbox 360), Propaganda Games and Disney Interactive Studios' upcoming FPS title. The protagonist, Joseph Turok, will be voiced by Gregory Norman Cruz. Turok's teammates in Whiskey Company will be voiced by the following:

Timothy Olyphant (Cowboy), Ron Perlman (Slade), Donnie Wahlberg (Shepard), William Fichtner (Logan), Mark Rolston (Cole), Chris Judge (Jericho), Lombardo Boyar (Gonzales), Gideon Emery (Reese), Josh Gomez (Parker), Jon Curry (Foster), Jason Harris (Carter) and Steve Van Wormer (Henderson).

Roland Kane, Turok's former mentor and the game's villain, will be voiced by Powers Boothe. Kane's mysterious henchman Grimes will be voiced by Sean Donnellan.

"The actors who lent their voices to Turok are a testament to both the magnitude of the project and the interest of top-notch talent," said Josh Holmes, VP and GM of Propaganda Games. "The characters in the story are paramount to the experience and we have assembled an outstanding cast to assure high quality performances across the board."

Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Turok will be released on February 5, 2008.

Konami, via a press release, announced today the full voice cast of its upcoming multiplatform title Hellboy: The Science of Evil (360, PS3, PSP). We now know that Mr. Ron Perlman who portrayed Hellboy himself in the movie, will lend his voice acting once more for the video game adaptation.

Quite interestingly, it seems that there will be some sort of a movie reunion as Perlman is joined by actor Doug Jones and the beautiful Selma Blair. Needless to say, Blair will be acting out the role of Liz Sherman while Jones will perform as Abe Sapien. Konami VP of Product Development Brian Christian had this to say,

With voice acting from Ron Perlman, Selma Blair and Doug Jones, and creative guidance from director Guillermo del Toro and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Hellboy: The Science of Evil is shaping up to be one of the most faithful video game adaptations of an entertainment property of all-time.

The video game Hellboy, much like the movie and the comic version, focuses on Hellboy's incredible supernatural powers as he battle to overcome a terrible Nazi scheme. Players will be able to wield the Right Hand of Doom and use it against the enemies and the game's destructible environment.

Christian added, "Drawing from the mythology of both the comic books and the motion picture, we are able to tell an original story featuring all the characters, settings and visceral gameplay that fans could ever ask for in a Hellboy game".

GameSpot AU have scored interviews with Krome Studios on the newest Hellboy game, Hellboy: The Science of Evil.

This latest installment finds Hellboy chasing after a crazed witch. The story is split up in chapters and smaller story arcs which contribute to the greater story arc, which ultimately leads him to a climactic confrontation with Hermann Von Klempt.
 
The creators, wanting to stay true to the spirit of Hellboy, dives headfirst into the challenge of translating the game into the different consoles.  Although the PSP will be substituting 2D animation for the sequences that will be found on the consoles, the main story will be the same across all the consoles. And according to Rich Foster, "both the console and handheld versions involve a decent amount of face punching and hitting bad guys with large objects."  Bad guys with face full of stone fist.  Rock.

Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien will be playable characters. Liz will of course remain the hot pyrokinetic we all love her to be, and Abe will be kicking ass with his "fantastic array of martial arts moves and pulls off incredibly fast combos and strikes."  Both interviews mention a special appearance, but both also refuse to go any further on the topic. Such a tease.

HellBoy: The Science of Evil, will be released on the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the PSP. The game will feature co-op and multiplayer options available for online or split-screen gameplay. It is currently in its beta version and projected to be released by the end of the year. Blu-Ray capabilities will feature bonuses like behind the scenes footage and interviews with Mike Mignola, Guillermo del Toro, Ron Perlman.

A sequel to the movie was also mentioned, and projected to be released by mid-2008.

 

Hellboy's back, and his right hand of doom is ready to break some demonic skulls. With Ron Perlman playing the titular Hellboy, and a cast of characters straight out of the comics, this game is certain to capture the essence of the comic book and pack it into an a great action game.

Konami's Hellboy videogame adaptation for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 doesn't have a release date yet, but it's slated for a 2007 release. In the meantime, let's just enjoy some screenshots and hope the fires of hell don't catch us off guard.
