Doom Takes A Shot At Gamers

Posted by Zonk on Friday October 21, 2005 @10:49AM from the game-movies-suck dept.

The Washington Post has a piece discussing the suck that is a movie based on a videogame. From the article: "At the heart of this competitive marriage is this question: How do you successfully turn an interactive experience (playing an Xbox game) into a passive one (watching a movie version of an Xbox game)? For whatever reasons, the recent crop of video game movies -- including 2003's 'House of the Dead' and this year's 'Alone in the Dark,' both helmed by the German director Uwe Boll -- have consistently disappointed gamers. Someone even started a Web site called Uwebollsucks.com. Is it for real? A joke? No one is sure."

Some of us have to work.

Or at least be at work. ;)

Besides, everyone knows that the Games section is the slowest section of Slashdot. Especially with half the stories that Zonk submits. :)
