Come this November, console gamers will be pulling on foil eye-patches and spraying the pet parrot silver when Virgin Interactive's piratical space-opera boards PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
Boasting the sublime talents of internal development team, 'Point Blank' and of course the infamous 2000AD writer Robbie Morrison and artist Jim Murray; Falcone melds the involving storyline and visuals associated with graphic novels and the frenetic gameplay of a futuristic console shooter.
In Falcone, the player takes on the role of our eponymous buccaneering hero as he's launched into a mixture of space-based ship-to-ship combat and first-person-shoot 'em up.
An absorbing plot which and twists and turns like an Asimov novel sees our hero pitched against not only his old buccaneering leader, Black Dog, but a brand new threat in the form of the Legion.
