First of all, OP never described what he means by "Holywodization". How do you know your itnerpratation is correct?

cause hollywoodization has been discussed alot and what you are talking about is not the topic

Secondly, the "holywoodization" you describe is a far smaller problem than games becoming like interactive movies IMO.

we aren't here to discuss whether its small or big .and just because one is bigger,doesn't mean he will question that only

I want to play my games not watch them.

well who cares what you like or not

just because you don't like it,you don't make any argument about your problems

 

many like them,many do not but don't drag it towards anythiny you prefer

I really don't care that 50 cent or PAtrick Stewart appear in games if they are good playing games.

there your preferability

many do care as this will lead to further changing of the industry

However if they are linear and boring to play only so they could be visually structured like a movie (God of war, Lords of Shadow, Heavy Rain, COD, Medal of Honor...to name a few)...I don't think thats a fair trade off at all.

again just because you don't prefer something,don't make it an argument where it is not the topic

If taht is the future of videogames, I look forward to spending 95% of my time on xbox live and playing casual games...

go ahead thats your choice 

i would prefer a mix of all things



Here is a few articles talking about holywoodization of videogames, which relates to what I'm talking about. You know the inflating budgets, games looking like movies...

Id love to see some articles about whatever it is you're talking about. Western culture? 50 cent in COD what?

you can bring all types of articles in and everything but not prove the point urself

 

and the inflating budget is not  because of games looking like movies

 

Activision speding 40m to build MW2 and then spending $160m for acdertising is what is hollywoodization

 

Naughty Dog making Uncharted 2 FOR JUST $20m isn't hollywoodization
