A Most Disturbing Trend (March 29, 2001)

[Bandit LOAF]

More highly inappropriate Wing Commander mentions... in a review of Serious Sam at The Firing Squad...

Oh, and for anyone who thinks that all this Doom talk means it's a straight ripoff - Sam is to Doom like FreeSpace 2 is to Wing Commander - all of the original and a whole lot more!

... and an article titled "Road to Nowhere" at CDMag (thanks, Delance).

On the other hand, films based on games are almost equally handicapped. Look at Wing Commander (or rather, don't), Super Mario Brothers (shudder), Dungeons & Dragons, or Mortal Kombat, to name a few.
