The only movies I remember based on videogames were Mortal Kombat, Mario Bros, Tomb Raider, Double Dragon, and Street Fighter but the games based on movies were a lot. Now its flipped over, I do not see much games based on the movie but there is a lot of tv/film based on videogames like:Resident Evil
Prince of Persia
Max Payne
Doom
Assassin Creed
Warcraft
Witcher
Monster Hunter
Rampage
Sonic
The Angry Birds movie
and things seem to be pushing more towards that direction
Again, selective memory. There are still crap-tons of licensed games. Look at al the Lego titles, the Star Wars titles, the Marvel titles... There are even still Aliens-licensed games. There's Batman, there's Game of Thrones, Hobbit/Lord of the Rings still... Telltale games alone produced a ton of licensed properties.
Here's a Wikipedia article with a list of movies based on games. Notice the release timeline. Did the number of movies released based on games increase? Yes, because there are more games featuring stories adequate to base a movie on. That said, the numbers still aren't that different. The rate of increase is large but that's only because the numbers overall are so low. In the grand scheme of things it's actually not that dramatic.
