The Scott Pilgrim comic series by Brian Lee O’Malley came out in 2004, with the sixth and final volume released just earlier this week.

The book’s immense popularity has now spawned a feature film AND a Ubisoft video game. Both will be available in August–the film in theaters and the game on the PlayStation Network. If you haven’t read the book, I recommend you do!

As for the movie, I was skeptical at first but attending the Scott Pilgrim movie panel at the con has me convinced. And while the movie looks great, the game looks even better! A beautifully pixelated retro-style beat-em-up based on Scott Pilgrim with a soundtrack by Anamanaguchi? How cool is that!?

After trying the game out for myself, I must say it did not disappoint. I will surely be rocking this game on my PS3 as soon as it comes out. Killzone 3? Little Big Planet 2? Psh. Whatev. SP is where it’s at.

Stick around, more word from the con tomorrow!
