Where blockbuster films are concerned, the video game release has become the rule rather than the exception. In Hollywood Gamers, Robert Alan Brookey explores the business conditions and technological developments that have facilitated the convergence of the film and video game industries. Brookey treats video games as rhetorical texts and critically examines several games to determine how specific industrial conditions are manifest in game design. Among the games (and films) discussed are Lord of the Rings, The Godfather, Spider-Man, and Iron Man."--From publisher description.Motion pictures and video gamesMotion picture industryTechnological innovationsVideo games industryTechnological innovationsConvergence (Telecommunication)Motion pictures and video games.Motion picture industryTechnological innovations.Video games industryTechnological innovations.Convergence (Telecommunication)338.4/77948Brookey Robert Alan1959-1498002MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785399903321Hollywood gamers3723370UNINA
