Tigon's Ian Stevens sees an evolving relationship between gaming and Hollywood
by Ben Gilbert

When asked whether he believes Hollywood's attitude towards gaming has changed over the past five years, he seems somewhat wishy-washy, saying, "It certainly has [but] people in Hollywood struggle to understand the creative decisions that we make." And that's likely how we end up with treasures like 2004's Van Helsing, which Stevens says took precedence over the first Chronicles of Riddick game, Escape From Butcher Bay. How the tables have turned, eh Ian?

"Hollywood and games, over the next decade, you'll see some really interesting things happen."
Sounds like something a game company who's name rhymes with "Crash" would say... if they didn't burn in heck.

Give credit where credit is due! That picture was clearly inspired by a fanfic I wrote. You can find it on any fanfic site: "Oh Me Oh Mario! (MM, MMMMM, Mff, NC, Scat, Beast)"

Movies are just business. Games on the other hand, mean business.

I'm not sure that's a good thing, almost every game based movie and movie based game are horrible.
