Influences

[LiquidGrape]

If anything, games take too much inspiration from films in general.
Cutscenes is a blight on the unique methodology of an interactive medium.
Screw pre-rendered sequences.
I want some input in this narrative.

Why does games need to be inspired by movies? I read a perfectly valid article about games rather being influenced by music.

I'd like to see more games that aren't rhythm games directly influenced by music.

Please show me numerous games that have been influenced by Michael Bay.

TRANSFORMERS THE GAME

I now want an Allen Ginsberg game.

Edit: You should check out games like Grim Fandango and Psychonauts. Tim Shafer has proper influences like Pynchon and Vonnegut and has probably not watched Aliens 100 times.
