This article from Gamasutra is a bit old, now, by Internet standards (last Tuesday), but the question is still relevant:  will videogames bite into the summer movie market?  I’ll grant you that I’m not the average gamer, but I am a bit of a nerd — and I managed to see both Iron Man and Indy 4 (on opening night, no less) while I have GTA IV in my PS3.  And I will see The Dark Knight, unless I’m dead.  I’m also reading One Hundred Years of Solitude at the moment, too.

I’m sure the market profits generated by the gaming industry over the last couple of years has raised plenty of eyebrows in Hollywood.  But, it seems to me that the summer blockbuster movie machine over the last four or five years has targeted the same market the gaming industry does.  Between comic book adaptations and 80s retro revivals in cinema, alongside the launch of next gen gaming, the last couple of years have been a geek’s dream come true.
