Godzilla needs a match-3 game like I need a hole in my head

There’s a pretty fantastic-looking Godzilla reboot on the horizon. If you haven’t watched the trailer yet, you should go and do that now. Go on. I’ll wait.

Did you watch it? Amazing, right? Godzilla + Walter White = the only movie you need to see this summer. A monstrously huge movie like this deserves an equally monstrous video game tie-in. But instead of a crazy, over-the-top action game, the King of All Monsters is about to get saddled with a genre not terribly befitting of his city-crushing nature: the match-3 game.

Godzilla Smash-3 looks to blend some pretty stellar visuals with the “draw-a-line” match-3 tactics of games like Dungeon Raid. The game’s official announcement promises “RPG-style progression” as well, which usually pairs nicely with match-3 gameplay.

And did we mention it’s being developed by Pipeworks Software, the folks responsible for Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and its two sequels?

Ok, maybe this could be good after all.

Jim Squires is the Editor-in-Chief of Gamezebo. Everything you see passes his eyes first, so we like to think of him as "the gatekeeper of cool stuff." He likes good games, great writing, and just can't say no to a hamburger. Also, he is not a bear.
