Koch Media have today announced that their publishing label Deep Silver will publish the video game of the upcoming animated movie 'Igor', it will ship on PC, Wii and DS in October. The publishing agreement covers European PAL territories, the French overseas territories, the Commonwealth of Independ-ent States, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

"Igor" is a playfully irreverent comedy with a new twist on the classic evil scientist/monster genre and tells the story about an evil scientist’s hunchbacked lab assistant, "Igor", who has big dreams of becoming an evil scientist in his own right and winning the coveted first place award at the annual Evil Science Fair. But, instead of creating a dangerous monster for the competition, Igor creates the amiable Eva instead. His attempts to convince Eva to behave like a real monster lead to numerous entanglements. With a lot of humour involved, both the movie and the games commemorate the monster movie genre of the classic Hollywood era.

The games will closely follow the storyline of the movie. The PC and Wii versions will be-come a varied action-adventure game allowing players to control all four main characters: Igor, Eva and their two friends, Brain and Scamper. The Nintendo DS version will allow players to design their monster individually by adding new body parts, and compete against other scientists’ creatures via a thrilling puzzle combat system. Hundreds of possibilities enable players to create truly individual monsters.
