Before you freak out, no, this isn’t who you think it is.

William Shatner’s lawyers have issued a cease and desist to developers of Shatter, Sidhe Interactive.

It comes due to the developer apparently using Shatner’s likeness in the game as well as using the song “Mr. Tambourine Man” by Bob Dylan as well as the rights to the Captain Kirk of Star Trek.

Studio head for Sidhe, Mario Wynands, replied back saying: “The GameConsole “report” you reference is what is commonly referred to on the internet as a “joke”. The article is a parody of our game, and has no basis in reality in that it does not in any way reflect our intentions for further development of the Shatter IP or relate to any official statement we have made relating to the game.

“We have the upmost respect for Mr William Shatner and the licensing process, and if we had any intent of using rights related to either Mr Shatner, Star Trek, or Tambourine Man (which we do not) we would do so using the appropriate channels.”

All we’re saying is… woops.

Thanks, GAF.

Sidhe Interactive has released the first video for Shatter, its downloadable game for PSN, and it’s posted over on Gamespot.

The brick-breaking game was inspired by classics like Arkanoid and Breakout and incorporates physics-based effects, boss battles, and a 3D visual style.

Bonus, Boss Rush, and Standard gameplay modes are to be included along with Trophy support and leaderboards.

It’s expected to be released July 23.
