Eric Mesa’s Reviews > Generation Xbox: How Videogames Invaded Hollywood > Status Update

Interesting that the District 9 director was chosen for the Halo movie and MS was upset because, since he hadn't made D9 yet, he was an unknown. What a difference a few years makes in perception.

GTA III changes the game

Reading about game engines being used for TV production just makes me think of how, if this was written a few years later, it would talk about The Mandalorian

Funny to be reading about the original Mortal Kombat movie in the same month the latest one comes out

I had some FMV games that came with our CD-ROM and Soundcard kit, but I missed a huge chunk of this because my parents wouldn't get me a Sega CD..

I've read lots of video game histories, but none have focused on this Hollywood connection so I'm really enjoying this book more than I thought it would when it started with the ET Atari chapter (that "everyone" knows by now)
