videogames & movies

Gaming has become a major part of our culture. So big in fact that with almost every action movie that comes out, a video game is usually released soon after it. I feel that this is done for many different reasons, not only does it promote the actual movie, it promotes the gaming industry as a whole. When people go out and buy a video game and really get into it they are more likely to go out and see the movie, or even stop while flipping through channels just from recognizing the title alone. The gaming industry is growing bigger and bigger and with all these new systems and gadgets, I don't see this industry stopping anytime soon. These games act as a major promotional frame for movies and likewise with the movies for the games.
