10 Video Games Based On Movies That Actually Didn't Suck

5. Ghostbusters: The Video Game

I honestly don't know why people want to see a third movie so much; gamers already have it, and I've always felt that a third entry in the beloved Ghostbusters series would only be a letdown. The video game is set in 1991, the principal cast reprises their roles, it has the soundtrack, and does everything right to make us feel like the franchise isn't tired and dated. Not only do we get the originals back in a brand new story, but the player is also thrown in as a brand new recruit to the team. What better way to integrate you into the crew's mission to hunt down the ghosts of New York City? The controls play out well, the design is just about flawless, and trapping a ghost couldn't possibly feel any better. You really have to work at it, and in the end it is a very rewarding experience. For the record, I added this one because of its connection to the two movies; it truly is a third GB movie, and has the villains, characters, and soundtrack to back it up.

I'm a fan of pop-culture in all mediums: Music, Film, Gaming, Comics, TV, Whatever. I can generally find something enjoyable in even the worst trash. I guess as a B-Horror enthusiast, I kind of have to. Currently I'm an author working on a manuscript for a crime novel, and attending school to be an Environmental Health and Safety Technician. In the past I've made a go at running in an election for MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) for my hometown of Glace Bay. I was 23 at the time, and though I lost (by like a lot), I learned a lot more about politics in a month than I ever learned. Get at me on Twitter @DanWilsonWC
