(a) in the case of both a video game and a movie having the exact same title If the movie came first, (i.e. The Punisher, etc.) the film gets the unmodified title. The Video game is listed as the title PLUS (VG) to denote "Video Game". If the Video Game came first (Far Cry, Doom, etc.) the movie is modified to place the year of American Release in parentheses, i.e. (Far Cry (2009)) for the movie version.
Same case when discussing remakes versus originals. The original should just have the regular title, while the remake should have the date in the title. Like, "War of the Worlds" (George Pal's 1953 version) and "War of the Worlds (2005)" (Steven Spielberg's version).
