I can’t come up with links, but some movie proof to look into would be “The Matrix” series. The special effects are not all that was borrowed from popular video games. The idea of living in a computer program where your avatar is more gifted than the norm. The ability to call on weapons and other “cheats” to help you when you need. The entire plot of the first movie is basically living in and beating a video game. And of course the special effects like “bullet time’ were borrowed from popular games like “Max Payne”. Hope that helps a little.

Answer by shyturtle
Street Fighter IV is the only fighting game I can think of right now that’s really popular. The next Tekken is coming out soon, so that might become as popular.

In terms of shooters, there’s Halo 3 and the Call of Duty series.
