They look at storylines, aesthetics, mechanics, and production. The book is about adaptation (video game to film, film to video game), but it is even more about narrative. The essays draw attention to the ways and possibilities of telling a story. They consider differences and similarities across modes of storytelling (showing, telling, interacting), explore the consequences of time, place and ideology, and propose critical approaches to the vastness of narrative in the age of multimedia storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe video games and film texts discussed include \u003ci\u003eThe Warriors\u003c\/i\u003e (1979 film; 2005 video game), \u003ci\u003eGoldenEye\u003c\/i\u003e (1995 film), \u003ci\u003eGoldenEye 007\u003c\/i\u003e (1997 and 2011 video games), \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c\/i\u003e (2000-2004, television show), \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds\u003c\/i\u003e (2003 video game), \u003ci\u003ePrince of Persia: The Sands of Time\u003c\/i\u003e (2003 video game; 2010 film), the \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e franchise empire (1977 on), \u003ci\u003eAfro Samurai\u003c\/i\u003e (2009 video game), and Disney's \u003ci\u003eEpic Mickey\u003c\/i\u003e (2010 video game).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47572468203671,"sku":"9780786471140","price":2830.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786471140.webp?v=1774889989","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/game-on-hollywood-essays-on-the-intersection-of-video-games-and-cinema-9780786471140","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
