5 Video Game Movies Better Than Resident Evil

October 4th, 2012 By Gavin Bard

Comic book movies have had an amazing renaissance over the last few years, made possible mostly by the sudden realization that you don’t have to butcher the source material in order to appeal to a large amount of people. Comics always had detailed plots and characterization, but before recently the second studios heard ‘comic book’ they started figuring out ways to make the movie resemble the books as little as possible.

The same cannot be said about video games.

Whereas movies like Iron Man and Nolan’s Batman series made bucketloads of money while not compromising on the quality of the comics, it proved to dollar addicted studio heads that you can make a successful series without pissing off every single fan of the property. This hasn’t happened for video games yet, in fact the exact opposite has happened.

French bread and French people.

Folded:

Red Dead Redemption hits the shelves (and cancels your social life for the next three months)
Laughing at Junior Apprentice (you feel bad for taking the mick because they're only kids. But they're just so damn weird)
The Deadliest Crash: the Le Mans 1955 Disaster (sensitively made documentary about one of the most horrific sporting tragedies of all time)
Super 8 (sincerely hoping this is not the new Cloverfield)
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (if you have any children, take ?em. Otherwise don't bother)

Movie Review – Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time

August 5th, 2012 By David Schwartz

It's official! Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is the best film ever to be adapted from a computer game. Sorry Kirby: Fright to the Finish!! fans.

The problem is that that's a plaudit on a level with being the best-looking EastEnders star, the least nightmarish member of the Dolmio Family or the twin in Jedward who the average man on the street would least like to push under a bus.

The bar is that low when it comes to movies based on video games. They are that bad. So bad, in fact, that there is a special level of Hell where they run on a constant loop. An eternity of drinking pus and having your liver nibbled on by vultures is one thing, but there is nothing quite like watching StreetFighter until Judgement Day to make you re-assess your life choices. Just ask Judas, Joseph Stalin and Thora Hird.

SLACKERJACK – Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

May 12th, 2010 By Stuart Heritage

In the beginning Prince Of Persia was a game. And then someone made Prince Of Persia: The Film Of The Game. And now, with Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, it looks like somebody has made Prince Of Persia: The Game Of The Film Of The Game.

Next, logically, will come Prince Of Persia: The Film Of The Game Of The Film Of The Game. But let’s not concern ourselves with that. Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a Prince Of Persia game, but it’s also a bit like Canabalt – you have one button to jump and that’s basically it. And you can reverse time, too. Oh, you’ll get the hang of it.

Top 25 Most Addictive Computer Games Of The 1980s

September 20th, 2012 By David Schwartz

It's time to grab your joysticks and join us on a trip down Memory Lane, as we look back at the best computer games of the 1980s.

Now, some of our younger readers are probably thinking there were no decent games during that time. And they would be at least half right. Let's face it – nostalgia apart – there was a lot of games which sucked around that time. We love to reminisce about these old games ? but have you actually gone back and played on them? Sheesh!

They usually involved breaking your joysticks or C64, Spectrum or Atari keyboards just to make a mess of pixels and garish colours move across a screen as fast as possible. Then there was the terrible sound and the seemingly endless amount of time you had to stare at the loading screens.
