'Da Vinci Code' unlocked for video games | CNET News.com: "--'The Da Vinci Code,' Ron Howard's film adaptation of Dan Brown's best-selling novel, is not content to limit itself to two media.

Besides the upcoming Sony Pictures movie, the mystery thriller also will be available as a video game from 2K Games and several mobile games from Kayak Interactive.

2K Games, sister company to Rockstar Games of 'Grand Theft Auto' fame, said the console titles are expected to ship in May 2006 to coincide with the film's release.

Los Angeles developer Foundation 9, which also is working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on the upcoming Clint Eastwood 'Dirty Harry' video game, is developing 'Da Vinci' for 2K Games.

Produced by Brian Grazer and John Calley, the film begins with a murder in the Louvre Museum that sends Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) on a hunt through Europe to unlock the mysteries behind the artwork of Leonardo Da Vinci. The game is expected to place players in the role of Langdon. The companies involved declined to disclose if Hanks or any other talent from the movie will participate in the development of the game."
