Sega has inked a deal with New Line Cinema and Scholastic Media to create games based on the movies in the His Dark Materials trilogy.

The first game will be based on the upcoming film The Golden Compass, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, due for release in November 2007.

"We are excited to be partnering with New Line and Scholastic to bring the dark and fantastic story of the His Dark Materials trilogy to the videogame audience," said Simon Jeffery, president of Sega America.

"The Golden Compass is a perfect match for the video game medium with compelling characters engaged in a heroic conflict between good and evil in an incredible and rich fantasy world."

This could be interesting. I'm not sure how they would do the majority of parts, but the fight between the armored bears would be amazing to play.

Great books, but when was the last time you saw a licence game that was actually any good?
