Tears and Sorrow as Well

Well, here we go (from MSNBC):
'King Kong' game raises emotional stakes
Game maker aims for thrills and chills — but some tears and sorrow, as well

Ubisoft game producer Xavier Poix is hoping for a certain response from gamers when they play the video game based on Peter Jackson’s eagerly awaited film remake of “King Kong.”

Well, two responses, actually. Poix certainly wants gamers to scream “Whoa!” when the ape first thunders across the screen. The other one he's looking for, however, is a doozee: “I’m hoping that when they finish the game the players will cry.”

Guys, this is a game about a freaking gorilla. I've got a better chance of crying over the McRib Farewell Tour. If you make me cry I'll wear a t-shirt that says "I am Peter Jackson's bitch" for a month.
