Your Thoughts on Movie Based on Video Games or about Games

Some might disagree with this but the DiC AoSTH cartoon was quite watchable. Robotnik was awesome in it! OTOH I found the SatAM and Sonic X to be crap.

I agree. I honestly don't remember a whole lot about SatAM, but the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was great. The landscapes were always very spartan, and the cast was really limited, so it had a really old-school feel. It was essentially as if a world existed whose only living inhabitants were Sonic, Tails, Dr. Robotnik, Scratch, and Grounder.

I also appreciate Sonic's ridiculous love for chili dogs in that series.

After seeing the Kotaku post yesterday about game movies that don't suck, I can't believe I forgot to mention Avalon.

They call that a list? And besides.. It's movies inspired by videogames, not videogame movies! And I already made a thread about just that.

I agree with this completely. Shame they removed the Robotnik song from Youtube.

Sonic actually loved chili dogs on both shows. Adventures was the show that got me into sonic (and videogames) in the first place, but it was overly cheesy most the time. I thought satam actually had some decent stories sometimes, although aosth actually stayed closer to the games in certain ways. Satam always felt like it was written by people who wished they were doing a lord of the rings tv show or something, they kind of used sonic and plopped him into a story about some forest animals overthrowing an evil dictator. Tails barely had a role on that show.

I liked Cloak & Dagger never owned the game though.

I looked everywhere for that elusive non existent Atari 5200 game.
Turned out to just be movie camera trickery.

There is the inspired Agent X playable on Mame.

DOOM. Okay not that good a movie but the FPS mode int he movie very cool!

I wasn't meaning to drag their list in, just that it made me remember that Avalon should be mentioned.
