X Men Origins Wolverine (the game) was such a gem, i really hope insomniac's Wolverine game nails the character and keeps the violence :)

[@Daniel-nn8mr]

It is keeping the gory violence, it's to be on the level of Logan.

[@kevingame3198]

But again, I hope insomniac Spider-Man in wolverine to sit in the same universe as square Enix, guardians of the Galaxy

[@tpeack]

really hope that guardians gets a sequel@@kevingame3198

[@Daniel-nn8mr]

@@kevingame3198 I doubt it. And I hope not.

[@mattsultimategamingandrevi8249]

I wonder who will voice Logan if I had to pick my two options would be Hugh jackman or mark hamil none the less I’m extremely excited for marvel’s wolverine

[@jamesdayton2598]

Thank you very much for this!

[@hassanmasood186]

You forgot the Spider-Man 3 game

[@joelramnarine]

​@@jamesdayton2598well the wanted game take place after the movie but i see why this is here because there was no sequel

[@joelramnarine]

​@@jamesdayton2598of a movie I mean

[@WdoubleyouW]

Van Helsing movie was S tier , i dont care what everyone says

[@PricefieldPunk]

Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines was really fun especially if you use cheats so you really feel like an invincible Terminator

[@tcodes27]

Insomniac: Hey! We want to reboot Ratchet and Clank! Sony: Great! You can tie it into our movie we made about them!

[@diamonddead8162]

The chronicles of riddik assault on dark Athena exists

[@Luna.Raphael]

Seriously? No love for Peter Jackson's King Kong??

[@dforman4770]

It was fantastic. Even scared the shit out of me multiple times

[@That1PissedOffBoomer]

Agreed. That should totally be on the list

[@Litfilmz]

Fr or the warriors!!?

[@rooroorogers8538]

Tbf they said it’s a list of games that were BETTER than the movie. But I understand.

[@michalismat5262]

Escape from Butcher Bay is not the only adaptation of Riddick to videogames. There was also Assault on Dark Athena which released on PS3, if I remember correctly it was a sequel to EfBB.

[@sparhawk26]

Of course X-Men Origins Wolverine is on the list. That game is awesome. The violence is there as could be expected from Wolverine (really bloody to see him behead a guy on the rotor of a helicopter). I also really like how they introduced his instinct with a vision that reminds of the detective vision in the Batman Arckham series, and how it reveals invisible enemies (if Wolverine can't see you, he'll sniff you). And why wasn't the fight with the giant sentinel in the movie?

[@Nov-5062]

The game's great, but I also really liked the movie. I think it's really overhated

[@gundamw3490]

​@@Nov-5062Deadpool 3 All bring them back Legend ❤❤❤

[@IamAlexJustice]

An Honorable mention. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and Transformers Dark of The Moon. Specifically the Ps3 and Xbox 360 versions.

[@HitmanStark]

I’m surprised you don’t have The Warriors on here. One of the best beat ‘em ups I’ve ever played

[@anotheryoutubeaccount5259]

But... better than the source material?

[@jonathangenao6796]

I'm so happy to have my X-Men Origins Wolverine Platinum Trophy

[@MohammadAli-jd8ub]

My 1st platinum trophy on PS3

[@thestigsdutchcousin]

Ghost Rider, The Punisher, Van Helsing and Wolverine are still awesome games. I still own the first two. Seeing this makes me want to replay them again!

[@PikaLink91]

Most Disney games were pretty dope as well. I grew up with A Bug's Life, and Chicken Little was a pretty cool platformer as well.

[@trasegorsuch5140]

Why do they keep talking about the Ratchet and Clank movie like it’s a Tie-In? The 2016 games was BASED ON THE MOVIE!!!!! GAME BASED ON MOVIE!!!!!

[@UnrealNeoBat]

Transformers (2007) on the DS was dope! It's more faithful the movie itself!

[@tpeack]

van helsing and ghost rider were great. loved the concept art you'd get for gr, had a real cool blackheart design in it. leaning into the old west feel the same way the movie did gives it a nice atmosphere and your flames powering up as you get better combos looks great. also addresses one of the big issues with the films, and kind of the 90's comics as well, in those gr shows up and fights last like 2 seconds, sure you can say it's to make him look strong, but after a while it gets old. in the game they get to go all out with cool fire and chain moves giving it a spectacle. loved the twin swords you get in vanhelsing, think both games really nailed the atmosphere.

[@Brendyn4222]

Perfect choice for the Thumbnail!

[@genericwhitekidthesecond4330]

Incredible Hulk from 2008 was definitely another fine example. The game is honestly kind of a time capsule. See when the Hulk movie came out in 2008 it was more seen as a standalone adaption of the character following Iron Man being a success the previous year however by this point what would become the MCU was not fully realized yet. This means that while the game references MCU Thor and Iron Man it also references other characters from comics as it wasn't bound by a single universe yet. But anyway that aside the 2008 Hulk game had some of the best open world destruction mechanics in a game until Just Cause 2 came out.

[@joshjones1848]

ace ventura refence love it

[@chrisbellon3739]

It was going to call the dark verse, not moster verse, mosterverse is new American version of godzilla etc

[@petetubbs1598]

My god, what a game Ghost Rider was. I remember ordering it off of Amazon way back in the day and not being to play the day it arrived because my sister and her boyfriend had the TV to themselves that afternoon. I had to wait to play it the next day, and I could barely sleep. It was the rare game that lived up to my expectations, I remember not being able to put it down in the days afterwards. Being reminded of its existence now, I desperately want to experience it again.

[@luchajon8480]

Do you guys do ANY research? Escape From Butcher Bay was NOT the only Riddick game. It had a sequel, Assault on Dark Athena.

[@TheDragon97king]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Matrix: Path of Neo are so damn fun to play

[@jessicapinkman-hd4bw]

i wonder what it would be like if they still made movie tie in game's imagine an avengers infinity war game where there is a final boss fight against thanos and you just lose anyways and just imagine what a into the spider-verse game would look like that xmen origins game makes me want a logan game

[@wickdaline8668]

Quantum of Solace 007 should be another one.

[@KRATOS7514]

they need to make the ghost rider video game remake or a remaster as soon as possible

[@zakirstocks9514]

Ghost Rider Video Game has one of THE Best Gameplay I've ever seen. Reason why I Absolutely Love the game is cause' of Ghost Rider's Evil Archenemy and Worthy Adversary, Michael Badilino/Vengeance.

[@jamalvargas6146]

Spawn In The Demon's Hand (2000) and Heavy Metal GeoMatrix (2001) were great Capcom licensed games better than their movies Spawn and Heavy Metal 2000 were honestly mediocre films but guilty pleasures

[@TheKillakan87]

technically speaking, The Punisher game was more an adaptation of the comics by Garth Ennis than the feature film.

[@johnsesia9050]

Also, it came out in the mid-2000s, not early.

[@matthewvorwald7169]

Van Helsing is a game that I've always been interested in trying out ever since I played the demo for it on my family's Van Helsing DVD. And when I got the game for Christmas in 2021, I was so happy and excited to try it out and I love it just as much as the movie.

[@kaletovhangar]

Peter Jackson's King Kong is also quite a gem to behold

[@stephenking5852]

So the Ghost Rider video game is basically a God of War game.

[@r3l1csvk]

from the list i liked:path of neo (altho enter the matrix i liked way more for i always wanted to see some Ghost´s adventures,when it came to side-characters),X-Men Origins:Wolverine Uncaged. Wished i could´ve get my hands on Van Helsing

[@taajihpickett2391]

I hope insomniac uses xmen orgins as a foundation for there take on wolverine. Id love to play a remaster but with it being a movie tie in game i doubt we would get one. And with it being Activision it would be xbox or pc exclusive at best

[@zombiewarrior225]

I absolutely loved The Punisher as a kid. Probably shouldn't have been playing it as a kid, but I loved it anyways

[@joelberry3937]

Punisher getting a remake would literally be the best day of my life

[@ComicBro173]

Weapons of fate is so cool!😲

[@JCallahan350]

The Van Helsing game was a huge part of my childhood.

[@Naruto0s44]

Hell yeah ghost rider was fire!!!

[@gregoriojaro8963]

PLEASE DO THE TOP 10 BAD MOVIES WITH GREAT VIDEO GAME ADAPTATIONS, ASAP! 🎬🎮😉🙏

[@bryanesbertgo4718]

Judge Dredd and Demolition Man in Super NES Lawnmower Man in Super NES

[@darkwingdave79]

I was hoping to see Reservoir Dogs for PS2 in this list. That was was pretty damn amazing!!!! I actually loved it.

[@Ben.SK2346]

But it wasn't better than the movie.

[@JPEnoobs]

Wanted the game was incredible! I got every achievement for it back in the day

[@dreamguardian8320]

Should've added Monsters vs. Aliens, and Where the Wild Things are to this list.

[@rocker0486]

I loved The Punisher game. Wish it was still available on PS4 or PS5

[@theredroadofthegamer3716]

If there's room for Van Helsing, Alien vs Predator should absolutely be in this list.

[@roiitzkovich4545]

Cars 2 is another good example

[@SuperRangerGuy1]

Some of the movie (like Ghost Rider; X-Men Origins: Wolverine; The Matrix Trilogy; The Punisher; Van Helsing; based on the tied in games I actually enjoyed; Others I'm not interested in (Ratchet, & Clank; The Mummy: Demastered; War World Z; Chronicles of Riddick Series)

[@Leo-pd4fc]

A movie based on a video game Detective Pikachu is a great game and im hyped Detective Pikachu Returns is coming in Nintendo Switch, I've played Detective Pikachu with 3ds and it's so nice Detective Pikqchu game is coming to Nintendo Switch and by the way Detective Pikachu is my favourite movie of all time so I'll think in this my opinion movie like Detective Pikachu is better than it's game. That video was good and i've heared new Wolverine game is coming im hyped for that too. 🔥🔥

[@MaDmAnMaRK]

Wolverine game was brutal. Shows why Logan is the hest reviewed of his solo films

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Good thing!

[@raulipuisto5274]

I literally bought psp couple months ago to be able to play ghost rider again

[@syedmuhammadtaqipervaiz7846]

Yes. Please remake The Punisher game

[@C.A.Blaylock76]

Personally I think that Enter the Matrix was better than Path of Neo.

[@christiangilliard1763]

Ratatouille game is severely underrated. None of these lists ever mention it.

[@darkthorn45]

since marvel is outsourcing their characters by having indirect Disney devs (like spiderman and Avengers), is Rockstar the wrong devs for punisher?

[@RayelletheRogue]

Riddick has 2 games, butcher bay and assault on dark athena

[@degarpaykararyan3140]

Looks like fun games

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I want a new Hulk game

[@Makman1994]

Hulk 2003 PS2 Chronicles of Narnia The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe PS2

[@PikaLink91]

Anyone else notice that aside from maybe Ratchet and Clank, all entries on this list are based on mature or gritty movies. Are MojoPlays all dude bros?

[@alon3mafia007]

hey its me @alon3mafia thanks for putting my gameplay of Ghost Rider ❤

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

Ghost Rider is one of my favorite PS2 games of all time.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I want a new Ghost Rider game

[@bcbscrooge1431]

The x men origins was one of my 360 favorite

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I love the Van Helsing movie

[@turfuoise]

Ghost Rider slapped!!

[@MVahag]

Ratchet doesn't belong on the list. The movie is based on the game series not vice versa, same way you could include Max Payne or Resident Evil.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I love X-Men origins wolverine

[@danielbradshaw1724]

Goldeneye should be on this list and definitely number one

[@Litfilmz]

Cough cough… The warriors!!🔥

[@alexhiras7408]

ghost rider 1st movie i liked it. also riddick have another game on ps3 / you forgot the newest terminator game from the movie

[@davidlance5310]

Umm Assault on Dark Athena???

[@The_Beast_3365]

You guys forgot to mention The Hulk game that came out in 2003, I think it's way better than the movie tbh! 🙂✌️

[@gundamw3490]

Ghostrider Worverine Masterpiece Matrix Breathtaking ❤

[@TheJManOrRiot]

What no goldeneye?

[@gabriel-razedori]

Aleluia colocaram ghost rider numa lista

[@austingarcia4688]

Punisher was definitely rated r

[@CosmicCorpse]

Mad max, judge dredd, the thing and predator concrete jungle, evil dead regeneration, terminator dawn of fate shpuld be on this list

[@lucasmarinho6816]

The Ghost Rider game is like a God of War for kids

[@damienbaker9531]

Deadpool was my favorite all though a lot of people thought that sucked I thought it was alsome

[@johnnyjrkirch4952]

The punisher was an awesome game.

[@mexicanfsr300]

The Warriors game was better than the movie imo, should have put that on here!

[@marmario259]

Ghost rider is an Underrated Game

[@KuzAaX]

The Punisher is the GOAT.

[@acdimla6201]

No king kong really!?

[@goGDOGod]

Video should be title: Why PS2 is the best consol of all time!

[@Hadez903]

Who ever made this messed up big time, they forgot the most obvious movie tie-in game better than the movie, Peter Jackson’s King Kong by far the best movie video game

[@Ridlex1234]

Xmen apocalypse

[@caetmoniza8907]

Cars 2 is also a Tie-in Video game better than the movie

[@r.i.p.plegaming2327]

Ghost Rider? I thought it was God Of War.

[@BoroPrideHoorah]

No Peter Jackson’s King Kong the game????

[@anubisfox5765]

I need the riddick games to hit the xbox store so bad

[@wallygator92]

I'm surprised that Goldeneye is not on this list seeing how more people talk about the game more than the movie it was based on.

[@anotheryoutubeaccount5259]

They do? I mean, sure, but there are obviously more gamers than Bond fans and Bond fans are very devoted. One thing's for sure, no one speedruns movies lol.

[@daytonwhite4]

i honestly like the Van Helsing movie

[@norlantolibaz5762]

no one can beat matrix path of neo better stories than movie series.

[@mandeepsingh5222]

Assassins creed Max Payne

[@juicelee6522]

So in short, 2005 was a good year 😂
