The Guardian online is running an article entitled "Two can play that game" Talking about the ever popular Hollywood and how much closer they work with games developers these days. The article discusses the theory of a good game-of-a-film and focuses on the achievments of the games and films of Lord of the Rings, Spiderman and(this is where it becomes relevant) Star Wars.

The article also quotes my boss, Mr Algy Williams of Babel Media, so you can look forward to that also! :)
