JonTron takes a look at Charlie's Angels, one of the worst-reviewed video games of all time.

We've compiled a list of these aberrations so that you don't ever have to play them yourself."
I really thought the picture of the horse was a real game. Not even sure why I'm disappointed it isn't ;/ Also, Survivor? What's the real aim of the game? Survive the opening credits?
duke nukem forever should of made the list, a game 10yrs in developement and ended up looking like a 2000 title.
Catwoman. Minority Report. Charlie’s Angels. ET. Street Fighter: The Movie. I could continue but chances are you’ve played or at least heard of one of the titles listed – and probably not for the reasons the developers hoped. Movies and video games have always had something of a strange relationship – games that aspire to cinematic greatness like Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear series and movies that pander to gamers like Disney’s Wreck-it Ralph are both becoming increasingly common. Straight-up adaptations are also rife throughout both mediums. It seems like such a perfect match, like bread and butter – why, then, does it often seem more like pizza and ice cream?
its content. Trying to take a movie and make it a game means the developers have to create content to extend the game past the typical running time of a movie. That isnt such a bad thing provided the content is relevant to the movie.
when you do the flip side of things...taking a game and making it into a movie...now we have the issue of taking what could be several hours worth of content in the game and squeezing it down to the typical running time of a movie.
the idea has always been sound but the execution is where the problem really lies. There are lots of games that would make really good movies (if done right) just as there are lots of movies that could make really good games (again, if done right).
As long as there is a market for it...both will continue to be made and there will be a few good ones among the crap.
I loved the Catwoman game. It was the first game I ever finished. That game will always have a special place in my heart.
The good news is that they are moving away from consoles and instead onto mobile phones
Grant Howitt plays a lot of bad games. It’s something approaching a hobby, really, and his collection of utter crap has almost overtaken his increasingly-small group of decent titles. He takes a look at what satisfaction these shoddy excuses for entertainment can provide.
