Being tied to an existing franchise or story is something any adaptation has to deal with, not just video games movies. The MCU is a giant adaptation, but it did really well. Even The Godfather is an adaptation.

Part of it may be that older video game movies came out when gaming itself was still relatively new and not many people in the move industry had much respect or even knowledge of them. Plus the fact video games are reactive to choice and player agency whereas movies are a static experience.

Don't forget when they shutdown LucasArts pretty much a week after buying.

Go watch "The Apu That I Know" on Youtube. One of the finest counter arguments I've ever seen.

Marvel movies don't offer inspiration? MARVEL MOVIES DON'T OFFER INSPIRATION?! I guess they're right. It's not inspiring at all to see Tony Stark realize the errors in his ways and use his gifts to make the world a better place, it's not inspirational to see Thor redeem himself time and time again, it's not inspirational when Cap gets beaten down again and again and yet still has the strength to stand up every time and proclaim "I could do this all day."

But to calm down a bit, I love both Scorsese's and Coppola's movies and I understand the annoyance with the overabundance of superhero movies, but it's a shame they can't see past that. Why can't superhero movies exist alongside their's? Not everyone wants to scratch their head about the metaphorical lighting and vague symbolism every time they see a movie. Sometimes you want to go to the library, but other times you want to go to the amusement park.

So is it Borderlands meets Street Fighter?

Even though I never played an Assassin's Creed game until last month, I've followed the series since the release of AC1 in 2007. When AC2 released it's first trailers and marketing content, I became entranced by what this game would be. I never got to play it, but I still feel in love with it. I became even more involved with the series with Brotherhood. As the rest of the games came out, I never lost my interest in the series. But now, finally having Steam and some money I've been able to purchase the series and finally play through it. My anticipation was well placed as it's one of the best series I've ever played. Playing in order, I still have yet to get through Brotherhood, after which is where all the controversy starts, but I'm excited none the less to finally play a series I've had a long distance relationship with for the past decade.

I was so relieved to read the title of this article. For financial reasons I always come into a new platform later than most, but soon the next generation is out and games are no longer made for the one I have. When Nintendo announced the NX and their transition into mobile games, I began wondering how much longer the 3DS had left. Glad to know it's here to stay for a little longer.
