Movies and Video Games

So this is a topic that i have not heard much about. Video games have exp loaded in popularity within the last couple decades. This has also added another element to television and movies. Most popular movies have a video game made around the same time as the film. I specifically remember when the video game for the second Lord of the Rings came out before the film did. The video game had clips from the movie throughout the game that were approved for the game and it was exciting playing through the game before the movie came out and seeing all these clips.

 

I would say that i am a video game fan as much as i am a television fan. My personal opinion however is that most games made from a movie or show are terrible. There has not been many games based off movies or shows that i really liked. Most of them are cheesy and it seems like the movie makers are just trying to get as much as they possibly can from the film including selling the video game rights. I don't really like to end on a negative note as i have many times before, so i will say that one game that i really liked was the Simpsons game on Xbox360. I love adventure type games and i was laughing as i was playing the whole game with the funny character quotes throughout.
