Gaming Steve argues what it will take for the "video game movie" to be taken seriously. If Lord of the Rings could be successfully translated into a multi-billion dollar worldwide phenomenon then there is hope for video games.
The article states: "As I watched Valdemort and Dumbledore throw down in Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix, a little voice in my brain was muttering "boss battle" and waiting for the inevitable button sequence to flash. Sentinels attacking Zion in the final Matrix movie … a really well choreographed Zerg rush. Except for the Frank Miller art direction, 300 could've been an expansion pack for Rome:Total War. Darth Maul? Not only a corpse-camper, but I'm pretty sure that double-bladed light saber was twinked gear.
If there is one thing that truly does need to change, it's how these movies get made in the first place."

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
They make video games for movies to just go along with the movie. IT's always rushed. Lacking in so much from graphics to gameplay. One day they might get it right.
"Valdemort"? Maybe when they start reading the books the movie was based on that the video game is based on that the...well, you get where I'm going. Most games based on movies are just a cash-in based on a cash-in. Until people take pride in the work, they'll be little more than that; a cash-in.
Uwe Boll needs to be banned from making movies period, not just movies of games.
But Silent Hill was an interesting film to be honest. Very weird, but in a good way. I havn`t played the games so much, so it`s a bit hard to say how close it is to the game for me. I also think the FF Advent Children movie was very cool.
I was hoping the upcoming MGS would follow the FF AC approach with CGI instead of real actors, as i think this get`s closer to the games in terms of visual style. I can`t see myself approving a actor which dosn`t look or sound like Snake, because he`s such an important aspect when you play. Still, looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
Problems with transferring great books to the film have been troublesome and still is, so i`m not sure if it`s the story`s of the games which suck so badly. I think MGS, FF, Diablo, God of War (film being made now i think), Halo (havn`t played through the story, so don`t be offended if i`m wrong) and Killzone do have great stories, as i`m sure others will agree. So i don`t think it`s the stories themselves which is bad, although some obviously is ment for disaster, like another fighting game Mortal Combat (sorry MK Red ;)).
But getting things to work in a different format than it usually works, takes some effort and (kind of like porting to different consoles ehh ;)), and sadly i must agree with Darkiewonder above me. They do seem to be made for a quick buck. It would be great if more talented directors could take a shot at it too, so i was sad to hear the Halo movie is in trouble, because Peter Jackson would be a producer and perhaps he could have shown the way for game-movies to be made, even though bad one`s would definitely still be around.
When they actually bother playing the games and making them suckless.
