FIGHT!!!

The fighter genre for video games is back at war on the big screen. If you recall back in the 90's there were movies for both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, with the winner apparently being MK since it got a sequel. (We preferred Street Fighter)

Well, here we are several years later and the war has begun once again. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, released back 2009, was round one. To counter attack this, rumor has it 2010 will feature the release of Mortal Kombat: Devastation.


The best news however, is that the long anticipated TEKKEN movie will also be making its way to the US. Although if the movie will be straight to DVD or make a run through theaters is still to be seen.



Which fighter do you hope to see on the big screen? - GJ

Sci-Fi Video Games + Big Screen = ?

For the most part video games that have been made into movies have done quite well. However it should be pointed out that though they have done well making money, hardly any of them have been worth the ticket price.

What makes a title a great video game is usually the player's interaction when helping to move the story along, but in a movie, we have no control over what takes place, everything is already 100% predetermined.

Sometimes a studio makes a game based movie well. Some examples of this are Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat 1, Super Mario Brothers, Resident Evil 1, and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.


Other times we wonder what the heck were they thinking. Movies that fall into this category include Mortal Kombat 2, Resident Evil 2 and 3, Hitman, and DOOM.

Feel free to disagree with the categories these movies were placed in, it's your right.

In the end, to the studios it doesn't matter if a movie is terrible or not, as long as it brings in money. So the trend of video games to the big screen is probably not going to see an end anytime soon, in fact there are several games either already in production, or being discussed as a possibility to be made.


Some of the bigger titles being discussed are Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Zelda, Max Payne, Prince of Persia, and Tekken. Hopefully one or more of these turn out to be worth the ticket.

Also we want to hear from you about what video games you want to see on the big screen. Personally us here at the post would love to see Star Ocean or another Final Fantasy film.
