Original stories set within the worlds of iconic video games are featured in this animated anthology series.. Video games have made the leap to the screen in a big way, and we're celebrating the genre with a closer look at more than 50 video game adaptations into movies and shows.. Clive Standen will be reprising his voice role of Demetrius Titus, the main character in the video game Space Marine 2. The episode takes place after the events of the game.. Referenced in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 973: Carry-On (2024). Expanding the video game media with content made by talented fans with unlimited budget seems wonderful right ?Well, ladies and gentlemen it is !The first 8 episodes were great, each one encapsulating the universe they chose for it.I've seen critics saying they didn't take chances with the show. Have you seen the pac man episode ? Because I did, and seems to me like they took one hell of a chance there.The show is stunning, each graphic style seems well chosen and mastered (as we would expect from the love death and robot team)it's a good omen for the future let's hope it allows the video game media to expand even beyond.It's filled with Easter eggs without the annoyance of the show pointing me in the direction of every details screaming at me HAVE YOU PLAYED THE GAME ???And in the world we live in, this is already incredible.This is the first time people who actually love the game took chances at expanding the media and pleasing us, the fans.But the beauty of it is that even for people that never played the games, can enjoy, understand and feel empathy for the characters and this seems like a big challenge that they overcame to me.The show has cons too obviously, some episodes weren't as great as the others (I'm looking at you new world).Yes, some episodes were short, yes some jokes were a little bit off, I never said it was perfect, just that it was awesome.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more!
