It's really, really hard for us to get excited about a game based on a TV series that was once hot but then fell apart in its last year before it got canceled. Yet that's what the upcoming game adaptation of the cult hit TV show Prison Break has to deal with. It's going to be a tough sell to get anyone to be interested in this title but publishers Southpeak Games and Deep Sliver are going to give it a shot.

Developed by Zootfly, the game does do something smart in that it's set during the show's first year. The game's storyline runs parallel to the first season's prison escape plot as your player character is also sent to Fox River State Penitentiary to find out why a person with no criminal record like the show's lead Michael Scofield would suddenly decide to rob a bank. Southpeak says to expect the game to ship to stores on March 30 for the PC for $39.99. We suspect only diehard fans of Wentworth Miller will be interested.
