Spider-Man creator Stan Lee believes games have surpassed movies in many ways owing mainly to their non-linearity, reports Eurogamer.
"When you talk about games evolving over the years and becoming more like movies, in many ways, they've gone beyond movies," Mr. Lee said during a panel at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego.
"To do a movie is difficult, but it's linear. In a videogame, you're writing many stories within the story. It's a totally different structure and a totally different philosophy of writing and, I think, a much, much more difficult one. I get the feeling more work goes into these videogames than even goes into the movies."
After showing trailers for the upcoming Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Lee marveled at the games, calling them "indescribable" and lauding their creators as "geniuses."
