The Movies We Love to Play

An article that discusses how four particular action films (Saving Private Ryan, Aliens, Black Hawk Down, and The Matrix) have played a major role in shaping the action/fps genre as we know it.

"Game developers often draw upon movies for inspiration, and as anyone familiar with contemporary pop-culture will tell you, references to the same small handful of action films keep popping up over and over again in the games we play. In this article, we'll explore four of the most influential action films, what made them stand out, and the impact they've had on recent gaming trends."

When you're done with this article, you'll be amazed just how many games have bullet time.
