Released to nearly as much fanfare as his thrilling movies, Uwe Boll's Tunnel Rats -- a game adaptation of the 2008 film of the same name -- became available for download this week. As our sister site Big Download rightly points out, the film has yet to be released Stateside (keep in mind it's based on the American war in Vietnam), though the game showed up earlier this week on Steam for $19.99.
Developed by Velvet Assassin creator Replay Studios -- recipient of the first ever JoystiQuitter game review -- you'll understand if we're a bit less than confident in Tunnel Rats. For those of you still looking to check it out, we'd like to point out Uwe Boll supposedly had a hand in making the game as well. Let us know how that goes for you!

Uwe should have nothing. Uwe should keep his retarded little hands out of the video games industry.
And no Uwe, we are not all Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg under different usernames.

Vietnam was a waste of time, WW2 actually got something done.

The trailer looks very generic and bad; from what I can tell, the art is very low-res.

Just leave it to Uwe Boll to make a crappy video game of one of his own crappy movies, and then make a shitty movie based on the game that was based on a movie.
Yeah I kinda confused the fuck out of myself there as well.

No can do! The pyro's crying in the corner over the sniper's death and the scout's in the other corner in a fetal position after he saw the naked pin-up of his mom on the team calender...

If it's as good as his movies it's going to be 8/10 minimum.

Yeah, I went with the cup is half full. Regardless, Collymilad, wether you really really love or really really hate movies, don't give up your day job to be a movie reviewer.

You have to agree that the guy is passionate though. I wished he'd taken a few months off to go study video and film making, then he would have a really high potential. Maybe even co-produce/co-direct a piece with someone else. I like his guts. I think all he needs is just a bit of direction, then he'd be on the right track.

He is already the butt of everyone jokes in the gaming community. I don't know why he even bothers.

Bot the game on steam, just wasted 20 bucks. Poor graphics and grenade blows you up everytime. Valve should be concerned.
