Get a taste of the Watchmen this Wednesday on XBox Live Arcade

Although the movie doesnt hit the theaters until Friday, You can get a chance to explore some of the Watchmen's universe in the Watchmen: The End Is Nigh.  Where you can scour alleys and rooftops as Rorschach or Nite Owl, and brutally fight off up to 20 enemies simultaneously – all before the action heroes make it onto the big screen. Maximize your efforts with friends in split screen co-op multiplayer competition, or tackle the crime and terror solo in this week’s six- chapter game.

This game does have one slight sour note.. The cost is 1600 MS points.  Before you throw down the points, check out the demo and decide for yourself if this will be one of the few comic/movie tie in games.. that can justify the cost.
