UK development studio Bits Corp has been handed the contract to develop a game based on Warner Bros' upcoming DC Comics adaptation Constantine - giving them the weighty responsibility of translating iconic comic book character John Constantine to videogame form.

Constantine, who is a key character in long-running publication Hellblazer, is the latest in a long line of comic book characters to be brought to the silver screen, and Bits is currently developing a PS2 and Xbox title to tie in with the movie.

As with most conversions of beloved properties to new formats, we'd expect that they're taking good care of the Constantine / Hellblazer IP in the process. However, a quick chat with comics fans today suggested that any travesties possible against the character of John Constantine have already been carried out by Warner Bros - the character, originally from Liverpool, is set to be played by, er, Keanu Reeves.

Oh no, if it's anything like Conflict: Vietnam, it will suck. Please no, please no. I'm downloading the trailer now.

The trailer makes the game look like Max Payne with demons. Seems interesting.
