watchmen With the first episode out and reviewed, word comes from ESRB that the second episode of the Watchmen tie-in The End is Nigh will simply include more of the same.

The site’s description points out that players will once again step in the shoes of Nite Owl and Rorscharch, taking on bad guys and fighting crime. This time around, they will track down a villain “who has molested an actress appearing in a pornography film.”

There will be a strip club where players will take part in ogling go-go dancers in cages, peep-show booths and a pornographic film playing in the background. ESRB dutifully notes that “although moaning and suggestive dialogue (e.g., "Ohhh, it’s so big!") can be heard echoing from the film, no nudity or sexual acts are depicted."
