''WebVideo/{{Crossed}}'' is a French WebVideo series hosted by Karim Debbache. The topic is simple: films that are either adapted from video games, or are about video games. They can be old or not so old, bad, good or okay, but Karim has a lot of things to say on every one of them, [[MotorMouth and only 10-15 minutes to say them.]] While the tone is humoristic and often sarcastic, it is usually peppered with detailed analyses of what did and did not work in said film, as well as comments on its (or its director's) history, or on cinematic techniques in general.

** Karim and Gilles appear as Infogrames developers in the ''WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier'' episode about bad Disney games. Karim (without the other team members) also appear in other episodes (as the bomb seller in the ''Papy Grenier'' about the ''Zelda'' franchise, as Franchise/{{Tintin}} in the bad Creator/DCComics adaptations episode, and as himself in the bad fighting games episode). Note that Karim is one of the ''Joueur du Grenier'' writers since 2013.
* DesignatedHero: InUniverse, Karim explains in the ''Film/{{Brainscan}}'' review that he views the main protagonist as a teen {{Jerkass}} deprived of any redeemed quality, partially explaining why he despises this movie.

* {{Spoiler}}: The reviews usually have a summary of the whole plot, including the ending. When this is a film about videogame which has a twist ending, he precedes said spoiler by a warning screen advising the viewer to stop the video here if they want to watch the movie and discover the ending by themselves.
