Welcome back to Game Chat with Tom & Lucas! In this episode, we bring a topic that was not too fun to research. In anticipation of the new “Uncharted”movie coming out, starring the darling of Hollywood Mark Wahlberg (and some guy named Tom Holland), we did a review of the history of video game adaptations into different forms of tv and film media. After discussing some rather interesting news stories involving teenagers getting arrested in Minecraft and Egyptian drive-in gaming, we get into the "Meat & Potatoes" of the topic. While many adaptations are bad, there are some gems amongst these, as well as some gems that have been created for movies becoming video games. After this all, we give thumbs-ups or thumbs-down to some of the upcoming, highly anticipated video game movie adaptations.
