Xbox Gaming in South Africa

The third film in the entertaining comedy sci-fi franchise Men in Black hits the big screen in May next year, so what better time to release a game tie-in. Coinciding with the theatrical release in the US, the new Men in Black video game will feature "action-packed, yet light-hearted gameplay mixed with edge-of-your-seat shooting excitement", and will be available on both consoles and handhelds.

"The Men In Black franchise is an unbeatable starting point to deliver a genre-bending gaming experience with a level of production value on par with Hollywood," said Activision Executive VP David Oxford.

Sony Pictures Entertainment's Mark Caplan, VP of Licensing, added, "With Activision bringing the Men In Black universe to life on next gen consoles for the first time, the Men In Black video game will be both familiar to fans, an exciting beginning for the uninitiated, and revolutionary for the franchise."

Actual game details are rather scarce right now, but those who've been looking for a chance to be the first, last and only line of defence against the worst scum of the universe should stay tuned as more info becomes available heading up the games' 2012 launch.
