I was just thinking of making a list of quality movie based games in lieu of Arkham. Glad to see the Buffy game up there. I always thought it was a really well done game in its own respects and well in the realm with the quality of the show it was based off of.

Batman and Riddick are great competition to put against each other.  Awesome to see Everything or Nothing on there.  My brother and I played the SHIT out of that!  Makes me wanna bust out my copy...

... Goldeneye?

Fuck you intentionally ignoring Goldeneye!  You gave it a motherfucking 9.8 anyway

" OH meh to you guys. Golden Eye doesn't stand the test of time at all anyway. "

Everything or Nothing beats GoldenEye?
 
Good golly Miss Molly.

" Everything or Nothing beats GoldenEye? "

Buffy!? I had to look it up on gamerankigns and sure enough. 80 % average. I was so sure that game must be crap that I guess I've never even bothered to check any reviews. This is turning my world upside down. What other games have I just assumed are shit because they are licence products that actually might be good!?!

Needs more Warriors.

Dude spiderman vs kingpin MD

Dude yes Warriors. Also Spider-Man 2 (the movie one) is still the best one for being the first to nail the web-swinging. And no game has done it better since, which is kind of sad? Web of Shadows was alright, though.

Really? A Buffy the Vampire Slayer game... and a good one no less? This is really making me question the meaning of reality.

Good list. I'd have added Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight and KOTOR in there myself.    

You've just reminded me that the Buffy game was actually quite awesome.  Off to go break it out and see if it stands the test of time.

weres golden eye and where is my worriers 2.

No Goonies?

The Warriors is yes.  Also, is Buffy actually good?  I keep not trying it for some reason. 

List is missing the best licensed game ever in KOTOR. That's about the only absent game I think really needs to be on there, though. (Goldeney was revolutionary, but not necessarily a great game)

I feel like star wars is in the madden or tony hawk branch.

I played Buffy the Vampire Slayer earlier this year and couldn't get into it. As much as I loved beat 'em ups 15 years ago, I don't think playing one in 2009 is a ton of fun. Oh well...

Duck Tales for the NES belongs on this list!

You include 007: Everything or Nothing, but not Goldeneye 007?
 
Come on, Jeff.

Goldeneye?

Bruce Lee is still damn fine entertainment. I revisited it recently and although some of the childhood wonder has lost its sparkle, the game is still very playable. I nearly included it in my list of cool ninja games, but thought the black-swathed menace wasn't as key to the experience as some other titles. Besides, we all know the Green Yamo steals the show.

 
  007: Everything or Nothing 
 
WTF is this?

Everything or Nothing is a really good game.  Goldeneye was a just alright game that hit at precisely the right time.  I believe these things to be true.  Jeff could be yanking some chains here, but I agree with the sentiment all the same.

Where the fuck is Goldeneye 007?

Goldeneye is not fun anymore.
 
Please accept this guys. Its just not coming back. Halo is its successor.

Funny, cause a lot of this list isn't on the quest.

" Dude yes Warriors. Also Spider-Man 2 (the movie one) is still the best one for being the first to nail the web-swinging. And no game has done it better since, which is kind of sad? Web of Shadows was alright, though. "

Interesting list. Ever play Bethesda's Terminator FPS games, Future Shock and Skynet? While they didn't have the best plots, they did capture the atmosphere of the future war sequences very well. You also got to fly a captured HK, which was pretty awesome at the time.

Thanks for talking about Elite Force, such a overlooked game today, admittedly doesn't age well. 

SPIDER MAN!?!?The original?Oh god man I hope you are kidding.That game wasn't fun at all just frustration.I hope you meant to say Spider Man for the PS1.
 
Also I think Batman Begins deserves a mention.Without that I don't think Arkham Asylum would be as good as it is.A lot of elements from Batman begins(mainly combat and stealth mechanics) were added into Arkham Asylum.You could think of AA as Batman Begins's successor.

Would you accept Cool Spot as a good licensed game, or is my nostalgia just fooling me again?

Good to know I'm not the only one to has enjoyed everything or nothing.

Everything or nothing was a great game. I had so much fun playing it. It still holds up today and actually looks decent.

Great list Jeff and you incuded the Warriors as well. YES!! That game was so much fun in co-op, the writing was fun as well ( I got what you need fellas, the F) and the fighting system was simple but very satisfying. A definite candidate for a HD remake.

I'd add the Darkness and Spiderman 2 to my list. Spiderman 2's combat sucked, the city looked lifeless, story was crap-it had the textbook characteristics of a bad game but its saving grace was the web swinging. Oh the swinging, it made me feel like spiderman pulling off wall run and swinging on poles. Getting the gold medal in swinging challenges was hard as hell but when you pulled it off there was no better feeling.

I really wish most licensed games were good. There is no replacement for your favourite childhood characters in the digital realm. Uncharted is a great series but Nathan Drake will never be the same as Indy.

Good list Jeff, I haven't played many of the games listed but I will soon.

What about Cool Spot?

Nightfire and From Russia with Love are the good Bond games. GoldenEye was impressive I guess for an N64 game and there was good level design but really guys? Game was a joke compared to what was on PC at the time(Quake 2). It was like comparing Super Mario World to Alex Kidd or comparing Street Fighter Alpha 1 to Guilty Gear Accent Core, just laughable.
