The Lego Star Wars games do follow the films' plot line closely, so I suppose it would make sense. Definitely will cotype with <a href="/view/fictional_universe/work_of_fiction">Work of Fiction</a>.</p>http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000012cfbb56I thought about using the Adaptation type too...it would require an uncommon if not unusual...Star Wars: Games "based on" existing works (e.g. films)2009-12-15T23:09:07.0000Zpak21http://www.freebase.com/view/user/pak21<div><p>I'd use <a href="/view/media_common/adaptation">adaptation</a>: <a href="/view/en/lego_star_wars_the_video_game">this game</a> is an adaptation of Episodes I-III while <a href="/view/en/lego_star_wars_ii_the_original_trilogy">this one</a> is an adaptation of Episodes IV - VI, and they're both <a href="/view/fictional_universe/work_of_fiction">works of fiction</a> set in the Star Wars Universe (without personally caring "which" Star Wars universe that is, but I appreciate other people might).</p>
<p>I'm not sure that the LEGO theme and the video game series should be the same topic.</p></div>http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000012ce72b0I'd use adaptation: this game is an adaptation of Episodes I-III while this one is an adaptation of...Star Wars: Games "based on" existing works (e.g. films)2009-12-15T08:15:39.0013Zfayehttp://www.freebase.com/view/user/faye<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>How should I use to link a video game that either exists within the realm of or extends that of an existing work, such as a film? For example, I would like to say that the <a href="/view/en/lego_star_wars">Lego Star Wars</a> game series is derived from the Star Wars films, and is a part of the Star Wars franchise. There are several Franchise types but none pertains to video games. There's also Consumer Product with property Product Line that can probably be used to link books and films and games and toys of the same theme together.</p>
<p>Another possibility is to use <a href="/view/fictional_universe/fictional_universe">Fictional Universe</a> to indicate that a game is defined within a fictional universe. However, some fandoms are quite sensitive about Canon vs. Expanded Universe. Video games can be problematic when it comes to continuity.</p>
<p>Suggestions?</p></div>http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000012ce567cHi, How should I use to link a video game that either exists within the realm of or extends that of...Star Wars: Games "based on" existing works (e.g. films)2009-12-15T00:45:51.0005Z
