Day 39 - Favourite game based on a film: Blade Runner


As you might have read on the parent blog, I don't feel films usually translate well on games and vice versa, so choosing here was slim pickings, to say the least. However, shining gems do exist, even amongst the muck. Blade Runner is one of them. Set almost parallel to the film, but not on the plot of the film per se, was a stroke of genius. Steeped in atmosphere, the game is a shadowy web of lies, deceit, mysteries and identity, the main question in the game being "Is human a term reserved only for those born human?". Just as Blade Runner should be.
