The big video game news yesterday actually came from the Hollywood circuit. Apparently there’s a Shadow of the Colossus movie underway. The gaming blogs are all a-twitter because the writer attached to the project is Justin Marks, who wrote “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.”

But those who downloaded it soon discovered that it was for real.
