Speaking of video game violence, Rockstar has launched the official website for The Warriors, a new game launching in October for the PS2 and Xbox. The game is based on the 1979 Paramount Pictures cult movie called
The Warriors. The game features rival gangs on the streets of New York during the 1970s.
A battle on the streets of New York.
The armies of the night number 60,000 strong,
and tonight they're all after The Warriors
- a street gang wrongly accused of killing a rival gang leader.
The Warriors must make their way from one end of New York
to their turf on the other side of the city.
All that stands between The Warriors and their survival are 20 miles
and thousands of street gang members.
The Warriors will be available for purchase in October, 2005.
IGN recently profiled all nine key members of The Warriors in
their two part feature: Part 1 and Part 2.
