You're in the Movies was announced by Shane Kim and Don Mattrick at the Microsoft press conference today. The game will come with an Xbox Live Vision camera, and will place animations and backgrounds around actual video recorded from the camera.

Sounds silly to us, but you never know -- maybe some aspiring filmmaker out there will find their medium with a game that can make it look like you're fleeing Godzilla.

English pop star turned Hollywood hottie Luke Goss has signed on to play a role in the upcoming Tekken film. According to his official web site, the English actor will portray Steve Fox, the British boxer first seen in Tekken 4.

Goss first made a name for himself in the boy band Bros (that's right, "Bros"), which he formed with his twin brother in the 1980s. Once the band broke up in the early 90s, Goss made the smooth transition over to actor, appearing in such films as Blade II and Hellboy 2. Filming for Tekken begins this month in Shreveport, Louisiana, under the direction of Dwight Little.

If you're still trying to get that Silent Hill taste out of your mouth (tastes sort of like a lead paint sandwich with a nice, tall glass of gore, in case you were wonderin'), then Hollywood's latest property oughta provide additional sustenance. Because Alone in the Dark wasn't an obscure enough game to base a movie on, Chilean director Jorge Olguin has just been tapped to helm the adaptation of Capcom's creepy (and popular in Japan) survival horror title, Clock Tower.

Variety reveals, "Penned by Jake Wade Wall (When a Stranger Calls), pic concerns a young woman who receives a disturbing phone call from her estranged mother warning her not to come home. When she investigates, she uncovers a terrible supernatural truth from her past." This sounds an awful lot like the plot for Clock Tower 3. It all makes sense now: teenage girl, spooky house, Scissorman ... hopefully the combination of an acclaimed director and a well received plot can deliver gamers a worthy film.

We've already seen the Da Vinci Code spun into a video game and a mobile game; starting tomorrow, it will also become an online puzzle trail, an Alternate Reality Game-style code quest run by Google and accessible from your Google homepage. This movie tie-in game fits with the book's themes of brain-bending puzzles, and it should hopefully be an enjoyable ride, with puzzles being issued daily until May 10 -- coincidentally, the start of E3 -- and a prize draw for those who answer all 24 puzzles correctly.

There's something of a discrepancy in prizes, thanks to regional sponsors -- the US grand prize winner will be flown on a first class trip to England, Rome and Paris with three guests, bagging over $120,000 of goodies along the way, whereas the top UK winners get a trip to Paris on the Eurostar. It's an interesting move to add this kind of daily ARG-style play into a personalised homepage service such as Google provides; people using the service already will find it easy to play the game, whereas those who haven't tried the service have a new incentive to do so.
