The Bourne Conspiracy 'Takedown Trailer' demonstrates groin punching engine
Those who wouldn't consider themselves fans of office equipment-related acts of violence should probably go ahead and skip this video altogether -- but if you're the kind of person who owns multiple copies of the Jean Claude Van Damme masterpiece "Bloodsport", feel free to treat yourself to the above trailer for Sierra's adaptation of Robert Ludlum's popular series of espionage novels, The Bourne Conspiracy. Who knew literature could be so ... pugilistic?
We're still waiting for that lackluster gameplay montage or negative hands-on writeup to confirm our general apprehension towards adapted games, but with the continuing font of sizzle trailers Sierra is churning out, our steadfast trepidation is waning. Damon be damned -- we can't wait for Conspiracy's June 3 release date.

1. The fewer direct ties to the films gives me some hope that this won't suck like practically all other movie tie-ins.
2. The whole point about Jason Bourne, from the books at least, is the fact that he DOES look like your average Joe, and just with subtle changes (different contacts, slightly different hair colour etc...) he can just fade into a sea of faces.
3. Should the game actually be any good, it can survive as a franchise completely independent of the films - whether they make any more or not.
I really wonder how they'd work out the camera though for gameplay, since they're just showing us how it'd be really cinematic.

It just goes to show how much they've captured the style of the films so well.
