GoldenEye 007
Nintendo | N64

It doesn't look like much now, but for many N64 owners, GoldenEye was THE game, on the same level as classics like Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Certainly, it still holds up as one of the most perfect movie-to-game adaptations ever, drawing players into the movie and its characters in ways that Pierce Brosnan's furrowed brow never could. Hell, for a lot of us, this is what made us start paying attention to James Bond movies in the first place.

GoldenEye was proof not only that consoles could do decent first-person shooters, but that they could do unbelievably badass shooters with varied objectives and innovative ways to deal death to unimportant Russian henchmen. And as cool as the single-player was, the intense multiplayer deathmatches were the stuff of legends, giving players more modes, levels, weapons and characters than they knew what to do with.

So, yeah, you could say GoldenEye was a success. It was so successful, in fact, that 007 owner MGM/UA almost immediately went "Uh! Mine!" and snatched the rights back from Nintendo, leading to a long series of Bond games that have ranged from acceptable to carcinogenic. C'est la vie.

King Kong!
Maybe Im not old enough to appreciate its smartness and beauty, but c'mon I like Beyond Good & Evil and Rayman but King Kong was such a boring game I never even made it passed the first cave

Great games. Aladdin on the Genesis claimed a large chunk of my childhood, and GoldenEye was my most-played game on the N64. Butcher Bay is one of my all-time faves.

King Kong and Spider-Man are most deserving to be on that list. They're games directly based on the movies, and they were released alongside the films. To meet such a deadline and still release a quality product is nothing short of impressive.

On a side note, I also have great memories of Batman, Aladdin and Goldeneye.

The Riddick game is fantastic.

I really want a next-gen game with a similar theme - set in a Max-security prison and getting involved with all the inmates. I just loved how there was a really noticeable community in there. Outstanding game.

Just want to make one thing clear, vin diesel's movies are terrible with one maybe two exceptions. Cronicles of Riddick was a damn good movie! (Perfect Dark wasn't too bad either)

Aladdin and Spiderman 2, those were some good games.
I've seen most of these (or atleast some) of these movies, and I have got to say, they all deserved some list coverage. They were great games, it looks like, from great movies (apparently excluding Riddick. Personally never saw it except for about 10 minutes in the middle. It never made sense.XD).

The King Kong game for DS sucked big time cos it's stupidly hard to get out of the cave (there is an almost invinceble giant crab gaurding the exit)and almost straight after you get out a raptor appears which is also hard to kill. Spidey 2 tho is very gd especially compared to its sequel and the game before it.
