Hollywood and the video game industry has never been so closely linked as they are now. In the entertainment industry billions of dollars, the producers of these two media are looking at each other to maximize the benefits that can be done with a single idea.

Research suggests that Hollywood, the first decline in this group was incestuous. Super Mario Bros., the first major commercial success of a home console gaming into the mainstream, burst onto the scene asincluded with the original Nintendo Entertainment System. While some had been made directly to video films or television video game titles, Super Mario Bros is a former studio blockbuster. No success at the box office, as fans of the game established that he was unfaithful adaptation of the story and character sets. In the mid-90 films are also based upon the most popular arcade fighting games, such as Double Dragon, Street Fighter and Mortal generatedKombat. None of these films was very good, and it was in 2001, Hollywood has been so successful in good faith in video games, film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Lara Croft, a kind of appeal, the type of young women of character Indiana Jones with a penchant for high-tech gadgets and shorts shot to fame in video games developed for PC and Sony PlayStation. Tomb Raider the movie produced by Paramount, is still the biggest grossing film in a video game to date. L 'The reason for the sudden success of a video game based on video seems clear: Tomb Raider had stories and film actress, who appeared to be done for the big screen. The directors did not have to force the format - started playing video games has become more sophisticated. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, was followed by film versions of major franchises such as Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark, Hitman and many others, and others are currently in production.

AsVideo games have taken full, it seemed natural that the adjustment should go by train in both directions. At that time, as with game consoles, the graphics that competitors have found the best digital effects in Hollywood figures, there seems to be a statement of success without a great video game that accompanies it. action movies, which seem to be specifically adapted to the format, and if you look at the shelves of local video game, see popular titleslike Spiderman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter and Star Wars. In most cases, the game is an adaptation of the film's plot, but some video game movie franchise spin-off, the contents of a single aspect of the film and includes elements or characters only sketched in the original source media. Some examples are games like Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup, which is based on the scope of the popular sport steering wheel, and various titles of Star Warsthat expand the universe of the film, including the Knights of the Old Republic and Battle Front.

Although many purists criticize the film adaptations of games like garbage to sell for the most part is still very good and are very popular among casual players. As such, it's like video game movies are here ... movies and video games.
