Hollywood glamour and video game thrills united to entrance the thousands of hard-core gamers that crammed the world's premier computer trade show in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Games based on major films and game titles with blockbuster status in their own right, complete with movie-like action scenes, played out on screens both colossal and small in the cavernous venue.
A game titled "Strangle Hold" crafted by film director John Woo featured a virtual Chow Yun-Fat hero.
There were games based on the "Superman" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" films slated for release later this year.
Games were imbued with characters and plots from movies as recent as "The Da Vinci Code" and "Mission Impossible III" and as classic as "The Godfather" and "Scarface."
Much of the talk at behind-the-scenes workshops at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) centered not on game technology, but on story lines and character development.
E3 is in its 12th year, and with the gaming business booming, the event has turned into a important meeting place for industry movers and shakers.
Gaming business merchants streamed into pavilions representing peers in Britain, Korea, Australia, Canada, Singapore and other countries.
