<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...Video Games: Games "based on" existing works (e.g. films)2009-12-15T00:45:51.0005Zfayehttp://www.freebase.com/view/user/faye<div><p>Hi,</p>
