"The first video footage of Green Lantern the movie is in and PGN talks about the potential of what the 'Rise of the Manhunters' game may look like if done correctly."
Warner Brother's DC Entertainment has been known for putting out (mostly) consistent content for years, and that includes forays into video games. Given that DC focuses a lot more on their solo characters, particularly Batman, Superman and Green Lantern, than Marvel does, its no wonder that DC has had an easier time adapting their IP's to other trans-media proprieties. While Marvel's team movie effort The Avengers has proven wildly successful, DC's Dark Knight trilogy, recent Man of Steel film and the entire animated universe helmed by DC animation veteran Bruce Timm has defined an era of superhero cartoons and direct-to-dvd animated features.
Man, DC Comics hasn't had great luck with games, has it? They had to resort to a few pretty average games to fill out the list.
newbreview.com's David Lee tells the world why he hates movie tie-in games.
I weirdly enjoyed king kong and riddick. Don't know if riddick counts but butcher's bay is great fun. Also would the spider man games count? Some games are often associated with a movie but I'm not sure if they ought to be counted like say wolverine or avatar that are blatant tie ins. Either way I'm not so sure it's as black and white as most people say it is and there's often a little bit of wiggle room. Not ALL tie ins are terrible - if anything they're getting much better.
I hate them because they get slapped together and thrown out on the market. They are heavily time-released games with not much depth
We love superheroes. Those caped crusaders with swathes of incredible powers and a moral compass big enough to draw really enormous circles – what, wrong compass? Here are some of the best and worst forays into the complex minds of these over powered superstars.
good thing they included inFamous 2, if they hadnt i would have raged! btw, there was another batman game to grace the PS consoles, the movie tie in to the first Batman movie starring Liam Neeson. The single player was pretty good, had plenty of stealth and combat.
Got to be honest, I wasn't a massive fan of inFamous 2, kind of repeated the original title and never really had a lot of depth to it outside of the main story. Shame because the city scape was fantastic, it just lacked a life.
well for me personally, inFamous 2 was way better than the first. Side missions were more interesting compared to the first installment and characters were more memorable.
If Green Lantern would be anywhere near as good as Dark Knight I'd be happy as can be!
Oh DAMN this is EPIC!!!
This is probably the most badass looking movie of 2011. I hope the game turns out as cool as the trailer!
This is suppose to be a great movie!
The fact that the game does NOT tie into the movie means it will actually probably be a good game.
