One can only hope Jerry will build games as awesome as movies like Armageddon! Wait, that movie sucked... Most of Jerry's movies suck...
Games are not movies. The current track record for movie people making games is not a positive one. What I expect to see is a lot more mediocre games that are pushed by marketing and advertising than game quality.
MTV Taps Bruckheimer to Craft Videogames
December 19, 2007
Wall Street Journal
MTV is bringing some star power to its videogame business.
Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer behind blockbusters including "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," will expand his entertainment footprint with a deal to create original videogames with MTV.
Mr. Bruckheimer's move to add videogames to his repertoire underscores an increasing interest among Hollywood power brokers in participating creatively and financially in the games business. Director Steven Spielberg has a deal with games publisher Electronic Arts Inc. to create three original games, the first of which will allow players using Nintendo Co.'s popular Wii console to build and destroy structures made of virtual blocks. Mr. Spielberg's second game for EA will be an action-adventure title.
