Stupid video games on IMDb


I wish IMDb would stop putting *&^*$$ video games on this site! I come here looking for MOVIES, as in INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE. Video games should be confined to Wikipedia.

IMDB is listing videogames now because famous movie and voice actors lend their voices to the characters. You could think of videogames as an extension of an actor's work, another role they can list on their résumé to enhance it.

Oh, well, that's totally reasonable. Then, by all means let's add every single television commercial ever made and all print media advertisements. Because that's what IMDb is, I guess, a giant resume for actors. Thanks for the clarity on that.

i'm not sure if NES games should be here (I dont see how it hurts anyone to have them though). Video games are an extension of the films quite a bit and provide connections. And modern games of course have voice acting and characters themselves.
