It tells what happened between the last video game and the upcoming Armageddon one which will be out next week.

Here's a trailer - http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/02/red-f ... ectations/

I am yet to watch it, but... please. Explain me one thing. It' SyFy production, right? It can't be good, can it?

Why, WHY DID THEY ever touch the franchise?

[Scaryfun]

It wasn't terrible, I would recommend it for fans of the game series. It was probably made since it's a known franchise and which got cross-promotion from the last game released so for SyFy it's less risk to make than an unknown property. That's why games and movies have so many sequels and remakes.
Unfortunately, the franchise was canned after the movie and the last game didn't meet expectations I assume.

That's a hilarious review.
That guy makes adventure games and can write a genius funny review like that. He's got some talent.
