Brash planning Prison Break game
Yes, as in a game based on the tedious television show starring perennially pouting Wentworth Whatshisface. Who better to act as warden to this societal dreg than Brash Entertainment, the house that built Jumper: Griffin's Story, Alvin & The Chipmunks and (and!) Space Chimps?According to Gamespot, the Prison Break video game turned itself in via an advert tucked inside the show's recent Season 3 DVD box set. Aside from a February 2009 release window, little else is known about the project. We'd normally submit a scenario about siblings busting out of a prison -- a "prison break" if you will -- but the show managed to drag on even after its titular event had unfolded. But hey, people are still watching, so the game may just succeed in finding a captive audience.

I hate this show.
How long does it take your ass to break out of jail, hide out in mexico with several spanish hookers, and live your life?

Well when you've got pedophiles, traitors, backstabbers, psychos, snitches, cowards and spies as partners, with die-hard loyalists, pill-popping agents, and bosses that don't utter words, only write down commands on slips of paper...and a girlfriend to worry about, it rounds out to about 3 seasons!
Going on four @_@

They really should have just stopped at the first season.

It's hilarious that they still call it "Prison Break" when they aren't in prison. This is a prime example of what's wrong with American TV: they should have ended the series when they, you know, BROKE OUT OF PRISON. And then maybe come up with, I dunno, a new idea?
Not that the first season was good or anything, but at least it made sense with the frickin' title.

"This is a prime example of what's wrong with American TV"
No, this is wrong with TV in general. Several countries, iirc, have the same thing. It isn't just "american" TV that's like that.

Wait, Brass. Your kidding right? The title is still relevant.
007craft @ Aug 15th 2008 5:41PM
whats your problem? Its a good show, and season 1 and 2 were really well done. There was stuff happening in late season 2 that was planned all the way from season 1. They didnt decide to make a tv show and not plan what would happen once out of prison. Ok season 3 could of been better, but blame that on the writers strike, and the fact that the actress who played sarah left the show because she had a baby in real life (shes back for season 4)
And if you watched it, you would realize that the title "prison break" applies in all seasons, as season 1 and 3 are completely about breaking out of prison (different prisons) and season 2 does have a few episodes where they try to break lg out of custody.
Now I dont know how the game will turn out, but im looking forward to it. Sounds like it would make a great adventure/puzzle game. This might make up for my dissapointment in finding out that the dexter game was a crappy iphone thing instead of a real game.
Drew @ Aug 15th 2008 5:49PM
Oh no, you're clearly mistaken. They broke out, but then went back in, but got out, but then had to BREAK BACK IN! As you can see, you will never know where this show will go next!
Slayer @ Aug 15th 2008 6:05PM
You mean that they might break out the next time. D:
DemonGSides @ Aug 16th 2008 12:56PM
They're going to break physics and break ONTO a prison.
Joe H @ Aug 15th 2008 5:21PM
If you're willing to suspend disbelief, its actually a good show. Season 1 (the first breakout) was definitely the best of the 3, but the other two were decent as well (with the third being the better of the two).
A game though, I have absolutely no interest in. Besides, I doubt any game about breaking out of a prison would compare to the excellent Riddick game.
Nutchos @ Aug 15th 2008 5:23PM
This is one of my favorite TV shows, Season 1 & 2 were both great. Season 3 was good but they really need to call it soon. If they keep stretching it I'm sure it'll turn stale.
I've always wondered what a game could play like but I'm sure it's gonna turn out nothing like I have in my head lol. There's potential but I'm sure this is gonna be a cash grab.
The-E @ Aug 15th 2008 5:34PM
Hmmmmmmm......the second season on have been the worst tv seasons in history.....
now the game....Push X for lame twist....Push O for uninteresting cliffhanger.........wait...COUNT ME IN!!!
Edog Lost @ Aug 15th 2008 5:37PM
OMG.. I can't wait for this game to come out. It's going to be so good.
Edog Lost @ Aug 15th 2008 5:39PM
OH MAN.. this is going to be good. Can't wait!!
Heh {XBL: P4nic 4tt4ck} @ Aug 15th 2008 5:49PM
Wasn't funny the first time. Keep trying, though.
Edog Lost @ Aug 15th 2008 7:09PM
I didn't see the comment the first time. So I made another.
I wasn't joking. I think Brash is a strong up and coming publisher.
Korova Pamplona @ Aug 15th 2008 5:54PM
They shouldn't have. Really
Superstar90 @ Aug 15th 2008 5:58PM
Will it also be 3 years of filler and 30 minutes of actual story? This show is turning into Lost.
Slayer @ Aug 15th 2008 6:03PM
How many seasons can this show possibly last? There's only so much breaking out of prison you can do before it gets old. Just my opinion though.
Deadpool @ Aug 15th 2008 6:29PM
Well, considering the show is aired on Fox, they wouldn't stop and think about cancelling it, they would just cancel it. Remember the crap "Family Guy" went through?
Hey does anyone remember that show John Doe? What happened to it? Oh yeah...it turned into Kyle XY.
opifex @ Aug 15th 2008 7:00PM
God what a bunch of negative nancys here, the show is fucking great! :)
phobic99 @ Aug 15th 2008 9:28PM
Sure but Season 3 was... I mean, come on. It was pretty terrible. This show was originally designed to be a 1 season replacement for 24 but it did well so Fox decided to milk it.
And milk it they did.
Kaioh @ Aug 15th 2008 7:02PM
This was one of the best shows when it first aired. I havn't watched it in awhile (I normally just wait until full seasons are done to watch stuff), but it couldn't have gotten that bad.
Sure, the video game will probably suck, but I don't see how this post by Ludwig should show the entire series in a negative light.
Unless, of course, you're just trying to be nonchelant to hide your narcissism, Ludwig. That's not objective reporting, that's just being a douche bag.

My deepest apologies for exposing you to an opinion wildly different from your own. This internet is a crazy place!
un1qu3 n3wy0rk @ Aug 15th 2008 8:39PM
Good show but it wont make a even half decent video game.
David @ Aug 16th 2008 4:45AM
Tedious YOUR ASS, the first two season are great. The problem is the third, and probably the fourth.
Rhys @ Sep 5th 2008 3:11AM
I'm a big fan of Prison Break. But I can understand if people disagree with me. I'm really skeptical about this game. I mean, Feb 09? That's a bit quick don't you think? Should be 2010. And being a huge Lost fan and getting exited about Via Domus before that was released. I mean, good game (6/10) but not worth the wait.
damien @ Sep 12th 2008 3:03PM
Btw your wrong about this being a 1 season show. they people who made prison break designed it to be a 10 season show so we have loads more to come. your all pathetic if u dnt like it why do u keep watching it. it just doesnt make sense. i truely love it and cant wait to watch season 4 and the rest. every seasaon has tonnes of different twists. its the best tv show out. what would you rather watch corronation street or eastenders or some crap like that. prison break rules,game will be bad tho like the bourne conspiracy game. terrible. o wel.
rydmer @ Oct 18th 2008 5:49PM
Damien it was 13 episode, and I mean, thank God thay did make into one season two seasons three seasons four and five meybe six seasons.
Prison Break are the beast series with LOST, I think LOST via domus was good a 5 out of ten hopes the planned sequel will fill everyrhing out and be more open in everything.
And I hopes Prison Break the video game comes out in Europe in may 2009 or something.
Chris M. @ Nov 5th 2008 8:08PM
