Is this one based on the games or they just have the same name by accident?

Chicks with guns. Most guys love stuff like that.

One thing here though, for a civilian who may have no military related experience, how would that civilian being a protege under the care of his hired man, respond when that soldier of fortune, regardless of the quality/quantity of experience was seriously injured and hence unable to respond to providing care/protection of his protege?? I guess you might say that he's up 'sh**t creek'

Just another Hollywood summer-time flop IMO.

Big blow ups, fiery deaths, blood and gore and the like provides just another rehash of the same type. But then again, there is only one way to find out after all the $$$ and attendances have been counted.
