Uwe Boll's Tunnel Rats crawls onto Steam
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 worked on postal 3 -.-
i don't know why, but vietnam games actually turn me more off, than ww2 games
MystileArmor @ May 17th 2009 1:24PM
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.

not even re-watching Meet the Spy can remove the horrible images i saw at the mere mention of uwe boll.

Tunnel Snakes Rule!
smcn @ May 17th 2009 12:47PM
What do Tunnel Snakes do again?

Blow up Megaton and get constantly killed by me and my Fatman.
Maverick Saturn @ May 17th 2009 12:58PM
This game still exists???
I wouldn't touch anything with his name in or on it.
*Looks forward to playing Metal Gear Solid 5*
*Sees that Uwe Boll shook Kojima's hand*
*Metal Gear Solid 5 interest DESTROYED!*

The trailer looks very generic and bad; from what I can tell, the art is very low-res.
MystileArmor @ May 17th 2009 1:21PM
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.
Just_a_guy @ May 17th 2009 1:47PM
what is the world coming to!
let's kill uwe Boll and save the world
LOL

Joystiq? what happened to the Russian sniper team that we hired to assassinate him?
PS36Wii Fanboy @ May 17th 2009 2:18PM
The Spies backstabed them and then messed with the engineers Sentry guns

DAMNIT

get a pyro and a scout in here ASAP!
cknblade @ May 17th 2009 11:00PM
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...
Collymilad @ May 17th 2009 2:25PM
If it's as good as his movies it's going to be 8/10 minimum.
MystileArmor @ May 17th 2009 2:36PM
You must really really really love movies.
Hyams @ May 17th 2009 3:00PM
Or really really really hate them.
MystileArmor @ May 17th 2009 3:37PM
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.

A game by a poor dev team based on an Uwe Boll movie?
When there's two things filtering out anything good, is what comes out the bottom a polished turd?
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 17th 2009 4:34PM
This should be interesting.
Linkario @ May 17th 2009 5:16PM
This was on my watch list, can't wait to play it...
wait for it..
wait for it...
HAHAHAHA

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.
The Baron @ May 17th 2009 6:21PM
Yeah, I'd respect him if he knew what a good film was.
jimmygotsmack @ May 18th 2009 8:39AM
He is already the butt of everyone jokes in the gaming community. I don't know why he even bothers.
Spyre @ May 18th 2009 1:44PM
The game doesn't even work right as the grenades dont work so its a real *quality* game.
Riley @ May 18th 2009 5:54PM
the fact that it actually made it onto steam makes me lose a little in Valve
Jbutts @ May 27th 2009 12:41PM
Bot the game on steam, just wasted 20 bucks. Poor graphics and grenade blows you up everytime. Valve should be concerned.
