Top Ten Video Game Related Movies
As lines blur between games and film, there are several new Movies based on games in development. This trend is not completely new there have been several already. Here are my top ten crappy yet entertaining movies based on games, with a few that aren't based on games, but are game related thrown in for good measure.
10. Wing Commander - Wing Commander 4 for the PC was pretty much a movie anyway, so why not make an actual movie? BTW Look out for the new XBox Live arcade version of Wing Commander coming out soon from EA.
9. Double Dragon - Vanna White is in this movie, must see.
8. Doom - The Rock always surprises me. He's a great actor, I can't say the same for this movie, but the first person sequence was fun.
7. Street Fighter - Street Fighter II was one of my favorite games of all time, so getting to watch a movie based on those characters was great. Plus you gotta love Van Damme.
6. Tomb Raider Series - The first was good, the second "The Cradle of Life" not so much. You can't go wrong with Angelina Jolie.
5. Super Mario Brothers - Live action Mario Brothers. When this movie came out, I was so into the games that anything would rock. It's time for a new generation of Mario Brothers fans to discover this movie.
4. Mortal Kombat - I always preferred Street Fighter to Mortal Kombat, so I wasn't that into this movie. It's a decent action flick with a great sound track.
3. Resident Evil Series - This movie actually has a plot, and Milla Jovovich is hot.
2. Grandma's Boy - People seem to really love or hate this movie. I happened to love it. It's a lesser known movie but if you work in the game industry you have to see it.
1. The Wizard - The Wizard hit the theaters when the NES ruled, it's worth seeing just for the Power Glove.
10. Wing Commander - Wing Commander 4 for the PC was pretty much a movie anyway, so why not make an actual movie? BTW Look out for the new XBox Live arcade version of Wing Commander coming out soon from EA.
9. Double Dragon - Vanna White is in this movie, must see.

It doesnt matter where you go, which blog post you visit, I always tend to come across these peskylittle wow gold spammers everywhere. Even on high authority
sites, they somehow get their gold linsk through. It is rather funny if you think about it. Oh well thanks for your post!
Can't blame them I guess, it is very difficult to get backlinks these days, I blame the competitive nature of google. I think otherwise people would be more
friendly and offer lin kexchanges freely, thus avoiding the cluter of spammers we have today.
