| | Game Based On Movies Getting Movie Based On Games | 
Nick de Bruyne - November 21st, 2011 | My head is doing a little bit of a spin here just trying to wrap my brain around this decision. Rampage, the 1980s arcade game that had you destroying cities and eating helpless people with giant monsters… is now getting its very own film.
While I personally wasted a lot of my young life to playing the heck out of it on my ... [»] |

| Retro Monday – Action Movie Games | 
Darryn Bonthuys - September 19th, 2011 | Its commonplace now to see the latest big blockbuster film get a video game tie-in, but its a practice that seems to have been around forever. Long before we were cringing at the thought of yet another lacklustre piece of digital merchandising, we were having our childhood scarred in 8 and 16 bit formats, and even then Nintendo and Sega were making enough cash off of the ...

| Rambo wants more first blood |

| Billy Bob Thornton blames YOU for crappy Hollywood movies | 
Miklós Szecsei - November 25th, 2010 | Some people love Billy Bob Thornton the actor, screenwriter, director, rock... star? But some people think he’s a bit of a douche - probably because he used to be married to Angelina Jolie. What? You don’t think he’s a douche? You might after this. He was recently interviewed by The Telegraph ... [»] |

| Capcom Making More Street Fighter Movies | 
Geoffrey Tim - July 20th, 2010 | The first Street Fighter was terrible – but it was terrible in a fun, campy way that makes it kinda cool. This is largely a result of the late Raul Julia’s comically overzealous portrayal of M. Bison, and yet another assault of Jean Claude’s ham-fisted acting chops. “I ham going to keeek that sunofabeesh Bye Sun’s ass so damn hordt, that the nessst Bye Sun ... [»] |

| Video demonstration of the new Kinect Hub | 
Gavin Mannion - June 24th, 2010 | One of my biggest disappointments with E3 this year is that I never got any hands on time with the Kinect voice and motion controlled hub. I was given demonstrations of it which normally leaves me to believe that it isn’t working properly yet and it just wasn’t stable enough to ... [»] |

| The Future Of Videogaming Could Involve Hollywood Stars | 
Nick de Bruyne - January 14th, 2010 | Just yesterday I was walking past a Mass Effect 2 poster in a shopping mall and something happened to catch my eye.
Up until this point I hadn't noticed it, but on closer inspection I realised that one of the new characters in Mass Effect 2 looked incredibly familiar. Anyone who watches the TV series "Chuck" will know that the lady on the ME2 cover is in fact, Yvonne Strahovski, the ... [»] |

| Zero Punctuation: Ghostbusters – Along with a rant about movie stars infesting our games | 
Gavin Mannion - July 9th, 2009 | Generally I enjoy Yahtzee's rants about video games and misguided design decisions but I have to be honest and say that I have never taken anything that he has said to seriously.However that was changed during this weeks review of Ghostbusters, alongside the generally enjoyable review of Ghostbusters he raises a point about the artistic merit and skill required to create games compared to movies.A movie just needs to ...

| Games replace Movies as favourite, so says NPD | 
Dieter Fouche - May 22nd, 2009 | So I think Lazygamer has had a total of 4 articles on different movie companies joining the gaming world now. We have Jerry Bruckheimer, Steven Spielberg, Legendary Pictures and now apparently Ubisoft wants to break into the special effects business. Crazy right? Looks like gaming has now become the flavour of the month! Are you puzzled as to why?Why would all these Hollywood big shots now veer away ... [»] |

| Spielberg Predicts Death of The Console | 
Faheem - May 21st, 2009 | Imagine a dark chilly night with all the cliches of thick fog, full moons, howling wolves and the clinging of chains... scary to some (if you were in a 50's horror movie) but we're gamers.And if you're a die hard player then these the notion that the age of consoles are coming to an end shouldn't startle you.So even though Hollywood tycoon and master-filmmaker, Steven Spielberg predicts that gaming consoles will sooner than later suffer the same fate as the arcade, I trust that the true believers won't be demoralized.But for those who aren't so sure... all this pertains to is the further development in services like Onlive where pricey consoles will become a relic of the past and gaming will be even more accessible... at least they had better be!Source: Play.tm |
