When James Cameron came out on stage at Ubisoft's 2009 E3 Press Conference to talk about Avatar, you could feel the room come alive. Although we knew the film had a massive scope, Cameron had said little about the plot of his expensive and delicate passion project. Everyone was anxious to finally hear what it was all about. After about 35 minutes of semi-coherent rambling, only three things were clear: one, it was going to look damn good, two, Cameron was so deeply invested in this project that he couldn't explain it in a way that made sense and three, there was going to be the inevitable videogame tie-in.

Now, we're much more informed about the movie thanks go to a gigantic marketing push and as Avatar is about to hit theaters, Ubisoft's James Cameron's Avatar: The Game is set to hit stores. Jason D'Aprile has the review:

"Avatar isn't a terrible game; it's simply one that is nearly devoid of creativity beyond the alien landscape of Cameron's design. One of the most immediate problems is the lack of cohesive storytelling. So little focus is given to the setup and characters that there is no real connection to the interspecies war saga. Even worse, Avatar forces you to make a major decision about the plot of your game at the very beginning: whether or not to become a traitor to the human race. It happens at a point when you’ve played so little of the game, there’s simply no motivation to make a decision either way."
