Line of Events

Original stories set within the worlds of iconic video games are featured in this animated anthology series.. Video games have made the leap to the screen in a big way, and we're celebrating the genre with a closer look at more than 50 video game adaptations into movies and shows.. Clive Standen will be reprising his voice role of Demetrius Titus, the main character in the video game Space Marine 2. The episode takes place after the events of the game..

The animation is beautiful, that is undeniable. I struggle to get excited about such short episodes though. Can't get fully enthralled as you know it's over before you can even get any sort of connection with the characters. Was nice to see some celebrity involvement.

The Pacman episode was ok

Reeves and Arnie both play enjoyable parts. It's just all a little too experimental and depthless for me. Additionally If I was given the chance to choose the source material. I reckon I would have chosen a completely different set of games to revere.

6 for the visuals

But was a demonstration of taking artistic license to its absolute limit. It made me laugh at least. Overall I found the whole series to be a little underwhelming. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
