Games based off of movies/books/tv shows

Is it just me or do they seem disproportionately bad? If you think not, what are the good ones?

Chronicles of Riddick: BB was excellent

Was Dark Athena good, as well. I hate to say I missed it.

I don't know, never played it. I played butchers bay from start to finish though.

Warhammer 40K Universe games have been pretty good. Well, some of them. Dawn of War series in particular. And they've got another one coming out based on the WarHammer Fantasy Universe. It had damn well better have Brettonians in it or I'm going to ride my horse into their offices. Why? Well because of the interesting books that went with all that stuff.

Indeed, you've got a variety of games based off gaming universes that were mostly pretty good with attendant books. Shadowrun, BattleTech, that sort of thing.

Transformers Devastation is new, based off the REAL Transformers, not Michael Bay crap, if you're into them, and it was done well.

That's about all I can think of for now.

Metro 2033 was an amazing game based off the book.

Everybody knows that World War 2 was just a made up fiction to sell war bonds. Just ask Mel Gibson.

IKR. A game cannot be based on a movie if the movie was based on a historical event. Ergo, the game is based on the historical event.

Sure it can. Remember Coppola's Apocalypse Now? It's Heart of Darkness recast in the Vietnam War, but that doesn't mean that the video game that almost was wasn't based on Apocalypse Now. http://kotaku.com/the-apocalypse-now-video-game-that-almost-was-804987273

Same with Tunnel Rats. It's based on the movie. Not the history.

That's actually a good point. I guess a game CAN be based on a movie entirely, since SPR had NOTHING to do with any historical events beyond the Sullivan Brothers in the Navy, on the opposite side of the world, who all died on the same ship, and the fact that there was a Normandy invasion.

Oh, but it's still funny. When that movie came out, we had to do reports on it for history class, of all things. Like it had something to do with history. You know, because P-51 fighters regularly bombed German Tiger tanks and the Army wasn't stuck on the beaches for months with NO way to advance, much less rescue people who had gone ahead, since there weren't any.

We had to do these reports, though, and some kids didn't even know which war the movie was based on, with two who didn't know it was based on a war at all. They just thought it was a general war movie. Public Education is truly priceless. You can't get that kind of quality entertainment anywhere else.
