Don't act so surprised! Yes, a major developer is making a video game based on an upcoming film adapted from a series of popular children's books. While The Spiderwick Chronicles is notably short on boy wizards, Sierra's marketing fella says, "The Spiderwick Chronicles video game will authentically recreate the world of Jared, Simon and Mallory Grace, putting gamers in their shoes as they discover a hidden world of fantastical creatures – sprites, ogres, goblins, brownies and more." We're not sure how fantastical brownies are, but we digress ...
The Spiderwick Chronicles video game is being developed by Sierra for the Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, DS, and PC platforms, and is due to be released in February 2008 to coincide with the film's theatrical release (of course!).

Wanted to make a joke on how there's no PS3 version. Can't think of a good one.
So I'm just going to point it out.
There's NO PS3 VERSION HAHALOLZ.
PS3 Owners, your missing fucking spiderwicks.
And their chronicles. Sucks to be you!

To Neebs:
Actually since the PS3 is backward compatible, so it can run any ps2 game.
Hey, how's that library of older games
working out for you on the 360?

Brownies were powerful in everquest, and small.

I like Sierra.
...
And now for something completely different:
Does anyone know where the female name Shake (pronounced like "shocky") comes from? I thought it might come from India or something, but I haven't been able to find it on any websites with lists of names. It may be just a shortened version of Shakirah or something, but I must know for sure.
It is absolutely crucial to my sanity to get an answer to this.

OUCH...the psTRIPLE is burned again...
Hmmm if the Wii version is sweet I think I'll look into it. I've never heard of this book though so I'm hesistant to get excited over it too much.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the part where a crappy movie license game NOT coming to a system is a bad thing.
Does anyone care that the PS3 isn't getting it? Really?
Would anyone care if any other system didn't get it either?
Meh, less shovelware.
