Max Payne (2008)
Video game movies all suck to a point.
I have not seen this film; but I have seen the FAQ page and it hurts to think that most if not all of the time, probably because of copyright issues, they cant make a film that is like the original video game. Look at Resident Evil, good movie, for those who never played the video games. I could not help but critique that film for the strange job that it did in melding the first 3 games into one. Yet George Romero had a script that followed the game pretty well. Now on to Max Payne, oh the principal actor, while he probably did will in the film, DID NOT PLAY THE GAME. Maybe he didn't have time, most likely, but if he did, he should have played the game. Then he could probably have made a better film. These people who make movies are, for the most part, not hardcore gamers. If Hollywood is going to make a film based on a video game, get people who play that certain type of video game and hopefully have experience in Hollywood to make the movie. I give kudos to the Director for trying to get every fan thing in the movie.
Deus Ex (2000)
Cult hit that does not play well with others anymore
The thing that totally pisses me off about Computers and their games is that you play a game, you like it; you want to play it many times, then after a number of years after you have forgotten the plot, you want to play it again, but you cant because the technology has advanced so much that it is nearly impossible to get it to run because it only works on computers that are 5 to 10 years old (a certain era) the good old days of 6 years ago, in computer aging that is almost 50 human years. Although have not tried it with the old windows 98 disk, don't know if it would play on a Pentium 4 all the way through. Thief is another, you can play it on the windows "virtual computer" but that is TERRIBLE, the graphics are incomprehensible, especially when you are trying to look for treasure in the mine section of the game.
