IGN’s got the most absurd news you’re going to read all day, and perhaps all week*: Marc Ecko Entertainment is going to be producing a video game based on Showtime’s series Dexter.
Do the double- and triple-take, then get back to me.
Yeah, that’s Marc Ecko Entertainment. The company owned by the guy who cried ‘misunderstood’ when his grafitti/rebellion game Getting Up sucked giraffe ass. And with that as the one example of an Ecko game, I expect Dexter to be more than just a CSI-style point and click adventure game. Verily, it could well be garbage in full 3rd person stylee.
Without a developer signed yet (hey, I hear Shiny isn’t busy) what has Ecko got to say about the project? Nothing, but here’s another Marc — Mr. Fernandez, the VP of Marc Ecko Entertainment:
“Dexter is the extremely rare TV show with enough layers of action and tension to translate perfectly into a compelling videogame. Our game designers, writers, and artists are going to give Dexter’s morally complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love.“
Tells us a lot, right? Expect more information on this later in the week when the industry is done collectively shaking it’s head.
*They also nabbed the obvious article title, ‘Darkly Gaming Dexter’.

Oh, this ought to be an entertainingly ridiculous fuck-up.
A Dexter game by Marc Ecko?
If you could have an infinite amount of monkeys typing news stories for an infinite amount of time, they still wouldn't come up with anything this random.
