GamesAsylum: "We came to Rambo: The Video Game expecting very little, even fearing it would be approaching unplayable. Thankfully Teyon’s previous experience with the genre has resulted in this being a competent enough shooter, albeit one that’s marred by a minuscule development budget. Had it been a £9.99 (or thereabouts) digital release we could have looked past its visual and technical shortcomings, but at £25 the chance to step into Rambo’s blood covered boots for a few hours comes at a hefty price"
Movie tie-ins were a staple of the video game industry not too long ago. Only within the last few years, movie studios figured out that unless you can commit the finances and time to make a good game, a movie tie in could do more harm for the brand than good. Game Guider Oscar Giggins takes a look at the top 3 best and worst movie tie-in games and looks at what made them either a memorable part of gaming history or a notorious mistake destined for the trash.

PP: A while back there was a Rambo game released for PS3 that used the PS Move. It didn’t go down too well with most who played it, so we’re actually quite surprised to be sat here writing that it’s getting a free DLC update tomorrow in the form of Baker Team.
That's incredibly bizarre but okay... I guess that's great for the three masochists who still play it!
