The 17 Best Video Game Movies And Shows
12.4.2024
Video-game adaptations have a reputation for being bad. This is partially because there’s an inherent disconnect between an interactive medium and a passive one. Consider also, however, that many of the bad ones were made by one guy in the 2000s. Now, brands are more precious about who they give...
