Every 90s 16bit platformer ever.

 

[VE3TRO]

Does Riddick count? If so that, Godfather and the Matrix titles.

 

[tensuke]

South Park: The Stick of Truth has got to be among the absolute best.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Back to the future: the game (telltale)
Ghostbuster the game (Wii and PS3 versions)

would have said telltale's walking dead but that was more based on the comic than the show

 

[Eggbok]

X-men Origins: Wolverine
Enter The Matrix
The Matrix: Path of Neo
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (I really, really love this game)
Spiderman 2

Best part is I still play all these

 

[Booker Dewitt]

Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Spider-man 2
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
X-men Origins: Wolverine (even if it loses steam pretty quickly)
Scott Pilgrim V.s. The World (favorite thing of that whole franchise)
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

 

[Creaking]

Quality.

It was quality, but it wasn't based on any movies or tv shows, was it? Just a standalone Spiderman thing.

One of my personal best underrated game:

The Simpsons Game
The controls may be clunky, some of the missions can be mundane but damn if this isn't one of the most enjoyable games of last gen. It has the funniest meta commentary on the gaming industry and even the EA president makes a cameo.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

It was a very good GTA clone(and still is) and its still one of my favorite games on PS2.

I fully agree.

We don't get enough platform games these days. Likewise we don't get enough local co-op games either. And here was a game that was both of those things.

I would love a sequel. It's a shame that EA have forgotten they own The Simpsons license apart from with that mobile game.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Digimon World

Technically, I think the game was made before the tv show, but came out in the US afterwards. It was a really hard game. Even with a strategy guide, I struggled with getting ultimates naturally.

Enter the Matrix

So much fun back then. I loved the movie cutscenes too.

The Simpsons Road Rage

My first PS2 game. I got it for Christmas when I got my PS2 and it was one of my most played games ever for years.

I also really enjoyed Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for PS2. It was a solid third-person shooter with really nice graphics.

 

[matrix-cat]

It's a really charming Arkham Asylum clone, really fun gameplay and shield shenanigans. Possibly the worst framerate I've ever suffered through in a game, though, which is a real shame. Obviously made on a shoestring budget with a harsh deadline, but it's great all the same. Made by the devs of Punch-Out Wii and Luigi's Mansion 2.

 

[James Woods]

I rented this in like May 2001 and was shocked by how fun it was. I can't believe Gamespot gave it a 3.5

 

[snaffles]

I only just brought this up the other day in another thread but for me True Lies must be one of the most under appreciated licensed games of all time. It was such a fun shooter, I guess not a lot of people ever played it.

 

[impact]

Solid action gameplay and awesome levels. Really enjoyed Sunnydale High, Angel's place, The Bronze, the cemetery, etc. The sequel is so bad though, even though it has playable Willow, Spike and Faith. The only Xbox family game I still own and I doubt I'll ever get rid of it.

 

[El_Chino]

and

Fuck yes. I wish they would make another Scarface game

 

[jkh33]

So much hours put into that game from just web swinging around Manhattan.

Man Treyarch should make another spiderman, though I doubt the same people that made the spiderman games are there anymore.

 

[block tower]

[EulaCapra]

I usually love The Simpsons games or enjoy them for the most part.

Road Rage gets flak but it's a ridiculously fun Crazy Taxi clone.

 

[Senor Kami]

Goldeneye 007 is the best one I can think of. Oh, those X-Men games on the Genesis. Maybe they're from the comics but I feel like if that cartoon never existed, neither would those games.

That's all I can think of. I played some really shitty ones early as a child and learned my lesson.

 

[Recall]

Wolverine Origins

 

[Somax]

The Warriors for PS2 was an awesome beat em up. Extremely fun and a lot of content.

 

[Ashtar]

The Warriors for PS2 was an awesome beat em up. Extremely fun and a lot of content.

That game was great!

This game was great, I don't care what anyone says it was uncharted before uncharted and it had better gameplay fight me about it!

 

[gabbo]

How were the Buffy The Vampire Slayer games from the GC/PS2/XBox generation?
edit: Well i guess I didn't scroll slow enough.

 

[Rokam]

So many hours spent in the multiplayer.

 

[JC Lately]

I was going to say something along the lines of “TellTale Games: The Thread” seeing as how I loved Back to the Future, The Wolf Among Us, and the Walking Dead so much. But then I remembered they also did Jurassic Park. Sooo…

I really wanted to like Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW, but not even my unabashed fandom for all things Ooo could slaves that boring piece of crap.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World was so good it got me to buy the comic and rent the movie.

 

[Kazerei]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (GBC). It was a pretty decent RPG.

 

[gabbo]

This game was great, I don't care what anyone says it was uncharted before uncharted and it had better gameplay fight me about it!

They'll have to fight us both.

Also, I'm going to add this:
Blood Bowl

It's not perfect, but it's quite a bit of fun

 

[legacyzero]

Whoever said Enter the Matrix is somebody with a strange mixture of Stockholm Syndrome and ignorance of the existence of a much MUCH better Matrix video game.

This.

[rockmanjoe]

Turtles in Time SNES and Astro Boy GBA

 

[danielcw]

It has the funniest meta commentary on the gaming industry

Really?
It used set pieces and cliches, but where was commentary in the Simpsons game?

 

[Jarrod38]

I rented this in like May 2001 and was shocked by how fun it was. I can't believe Gamespot gave it a 3.5

You win the internet for today. Played the hell out of that game.

Anyways I enjoyed
Simpsons Hit and Run
The Matrix Path of Neo

 

[RK128]

Agree with everyone's posts here but I'm a bit surprised that none of the Nick games during the PS2 days aren't here .

These are generally good games with solid gameplay, great visuals (notably Tak 2; a marvel to look a on the GC), great humor from the shows (heck, the games success even pushed Nick to make Tak into a show) and in the case of Tak, really fun multiplayer .

Here is gameplay of the games to see my point .

Spongebob Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg0BRdYBcM4
Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN8u8u8n6jE
Tak 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG68Jllyu88
Tak The Great Juju Challenge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swkQa3vQlN8

 

[antitrop]

It was basically a James Bond Call of Duty 4 mod.

So, pretty sweet, yeah.

 

[James Woods]

This game was great, I don't care what anyone says it was uncharted before uncharted and it had better gameplay fight me about it!

I got this from Gamefly today. It isn't bad!

 

[Kadin]

As I post this response, GoldenEye is on HBO right now and when I saw it on the menu guide, I immediately wanted to throw in my N64 cartridge and play it. And the I remembered it's not hooked up and I'm in 'ultra lazy' mode right now.

Anyhow, without question GE is my answer.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Matrix Path of Neo. Only because I had just got into the film and the game had come out around the same time.

I'm sure it is a terrible game though.

 

[HUELEN10]

I am very surprised that this one hasn't gotten a mention yet...

One of the bets licensed games ever IMO.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

A lot of mine have already been mentioned, so:

Plus the first three entries of the Harry Potter franchise for the GC and the GBA. I really need to start the GBC versions one day.

 

[Glittering Crux]

Brother Bear - Not a great game by any means but I had fun with it. The chase segments were cool. My sisters and I loved playing the last level over again.

Winnie the Pooh: Adventures in the 100 Acre Woods - I'm pretty sure the AI cheats in the board game mini-game. This mini-game collection is pretty fun though. The fishing one was my favorite.

 

[Kriken]

Obvious choice is Goldeneye 007 for N64, another choice would be Battle for Naboo for the N64

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Off the top of my head...

and

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I usually love The Simpsons games or enjoy them for the most part.

Road Rage gets flak but it's a ridiculously fun Crazy Taxi clone.

Road Rage is a fantastic game but Hit and Run surpasses it on every level, so I can't go back.

 

[HK-47]

Every post in this thread should be the goddamn Warriors

 

[schizo]

I may be the only one that really enjoyed...

Also...

Had a blast with these!
