B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping video game adaptations into the ol’ VCR.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a Gamer Girlie, but I do like watching let’s plays/playthroughs on YouTube. 

However, as with books, if you make a video game into a movie or show, I’ll more than likely watch it. 

Also, the video game adaptations from the past couple of years are next level compared to the ones I grew up with. 

I obviously have a soft spot for things like House of the Dead because I grew up playing the arcade game at my hometown’s skating rink. 

Additionally, I will watch every single Resident Evil movie you throw at me without shame. The early ones are obviously better, but KP and I have seen every movie in the series. 

Over the years, video game adaptations, particularly series, have really stepped up their game. I’m honestly obsessed with Fallout to the point that I’ve added an ungodly amount of merch to my Amazon cart. 

You should also totally watch last week’s B Movies Channel video to hear more about my review of Fallout. 

I digress. 

I do want to quickly give an honorable mention to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. It’s not based on a video game, but it’s so video game-oriented that I think I legally need to mention it. It’s also just one of the best movies ever. 

Plus, I forgot to mention it in the book adaptation piece, and I feel like I’ve let the team down. 

Alrighty, I think that should cover us. 

Without further ado, put down the joystick, grab a Mountain Dew, and check out these video game adaptations:
