Game publishers Reef Entertainment have confirmed that they have won the rights to create a Rambo game, beating other publishers in buying the rights from film company Studio Canal.

The first three films alone have cashed in on $600 million, so it would only be a matter of time before someone realised it would probably be a good idea to take him beyond the silver screen.  Reef's CEO Peter Rezon was keen to highlight the current trend where good old-fashioned action flicks are taking the cinemas by storm following the success of the latest Rambo and the Expendables.

Set to be made for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC the title hopes to recreate the gritty brutal world in which Rambo inhabits, giving gamers the chance to truly immerse themselves in the experience.
