The Movies

Gamers Gate are running a Feral Mac sale this weekend offering up to 50% off select Feral Interactive titles including Dirt 2 and Brothers in Arms.

This big budget bundle features not only the original game and the Stunts & Effects expansion pack, but also more than thirty original cuts from composer Dan Pemberton's BAFTA-nominated music.

It's been a while since we've looked at The Movies from Lionhead (of Black and White fame), a management title that puts you squarely in the director's chair, so here are three new screenshots of the game in progress.The film-making process is great subject material for a management game and it's a tad surprising that it hasn't been tackled before.
