Some games have inspired the creation of literature.
Games that are based upon books or novels.
Games which have served as the basis of a comic book or vice versa.
Comic book or manga characters who are also in video games. There are tons of games with superheros such as Batman and Spider-Man out there.
Video games that are based on comic books, manga and graphic novels.
Games that are designed to inspire the purchase of a specifically branded food product.
Whenever there's a new Pixar, superhero or Harry Potter movie they have to make one of these.
Some games have a complicated history.
Video games based on movies that are in turn based on previous games in their respective franchises.
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more than a boss battle.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
Superpowered or super intelligent bad guys who fight superheroes.
Video games that, for better or for worse, are based on an existing non-video game franchise. Usually drawn from movies, tie-in games have also been made about TV shows, novels, and even one-hit wonder pop bands.
Tokusatsu is the name for Japanese live-action entertainment with traditional special effects. Made popular in the West by the likes of Godzilla, Ultraman, and Power Rangers, many games use the genre's over-the-top style, such as Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101.
