Spare a moment and think about the first video game you ever played. What was it about that eye-opening, sensory experience that compelled you to keep playing? Whether this was the first time you put fingers to a keyboard, wiped off your greasy palms before picking up a joystick, got to grips with your first joypad, or put stylus to touch-screen for the first time, something about that game left a lasting impression that will never leave you.

Largely uninspired, lacklustre cash cows which are commonly bereft of any form of imagination. Movie tie-in games are often seen as the scourge of the industry by critics and gamers the world over after so many awful misfires. Hollywood is full of great characters and stories just ripe for the video game treatment, yet so many of these interpretations end up an awful mess when placed next to standalone titles.
