A dark epic video game where the amazon-like heroine, Nariko, kicks major ass, plus the graphics are gorgeous.

Yeah, the graphics are very realistic, this is my favorite image of Heavenly Sword:

If Heavenly Sword were to become a live-action movie, I wonder who could play Nariko...I think Summer Glau could handle playing Nariko's sister, Kai.

Natassia Malthe would be able to pull it off! check her out: She also was Bloodrayne in Bloodrayne II.

While impressive I don't see anything realistic about that pic.

While stunning, the picture doesn't do the game justice: go to www.heavenlysword.com

I agree, Natassia Malthe has the look and intensity to definitely pull it off...It'll be great if the story of the game was to become a TV series: kinda like Xena but darker.

The female starring genre shows lately, (since Buffy and Xena ended) just haven't been able to draw me (or other audiences) in. I mean, Painkiller Jane and New Bionic Woman just didn't work.

The more mainstream, and less silly stuff, like Bones, is pretty good, but lacks that sense of supernatural fun I think we want. Medium and Ghosty Whisperer, too, are fairly dramatic rather than fun.
Ah, I miss Buffy.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I think the problem is sometimes in the writing. Some writers who are not big on SF & F mistake "fantasy" for "plain silliness", so they don't even bother with good, creative material for shows like these. Or maybe some shows just couldn't afford good writers (shrug).

In any case, I thought Witchblade, the TV series wasn't too shabby:

I heard rumors that they're going to make a live action TV series of Pirates of the Carribean when Jack Sparrow was a teenager: if this becomes true let's just hope the writing for it will be decent, if not superb.

Witchblade was a good show. I miss it.

I also thought She-Wolf of LOndon was always fun. Anyone else watch that?
