Mickey Rourke takes lead in Rogue Warrior


Yes, when Mickey Rourke recovered from a disastrous, drug-fueled fall from grace with a stunning performance in The Wrestler and revitalized his career, this is exactly the sort of thing his legion of fans and well-wishers hoped he'd be propelled into. The actor will take the role of "the irreverent, battle-tested Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko, a real-life Navy SEAL" in Bethesda's Rogue Warrior.

In the game, based on the book series of the same name, players will control Marcinko/Rourke as he assaults a suspected North Korea ballistics base. Look for it in Q4 of this year on 360, PS3 and PC.
