I wasn’t trying to set a world record or anything; I just really enjoyed watching these movies. Disney films aside, there was the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy, ‘Back to the Future’, ‘Dumb & Dumber’, ‘Airplane’ – the list goes on. These were films that either made me laugh my ass off or filled me with an amazing sense of child-like wonder. ‘Small Soldiers’ is a movie that fell into the latter; toys coming alive – what’s more amazing than that for a 5-year-old kid? Sure you had ‘Toy Story’ before that, but Soldiers was different, it was live action, these were real toys and what’s more – they were boys’ toys.'
Mike from Awesome Games writes: 'It’s no secret that video games based on movies get a bad rap – and rightly so. The majority of them are rushed, generic, uninspired cash-ins, used entirely as promotional material for their respective films, without naming any names of course… *cough* E.T. *cough*
However, once in a blue moon, we are graced with that rare game that completely annihilates our expectations and sometimes even turns out better than its cinematic counterpart. This list is here to celebrate those very games. So without further ado, I give you my personal favourites… Here are the first 6, listed completely at random… Why? Because it’s my article and I wanted to. Quit judging me.'
