10 Genuinely Awesome Video Games Attached To TERRIBLE Movies

10. Alien Resurrection

After Alien 3 made a mess of Ridley Scott's sci-fi franchise, fans hoped the follow-up, Alien Resurrection, would course-correct the beloved series. Instead, we got another trashy sequel, devoid of the nuances that made the previous two entries special.

Because Resurrection is regarded as a blot on the Alien name, Argonaut Games's video game adaptation seemed doomed before it started

Surprisingly, the PS1 title isn't half bad. I mean, it's definitely not great. Compared to other shooters that came out the same year like Deus Ex and Counter-Strike, Alien Resurrection wasn't exactly the cream of the crop.

But in its defence, the game captures the haunting atmosphere, which was flagrantly absent from the movie. Even though you're well-armed, you are always cautious, knowing the Xenomorphs and face-huggers can make mincemeat out of you in no time.

Also, Resurrection deserves more credit than it received, since it pioneered the dual analogue stick control scheme. Although this mechanic was considered confusing at the time, it quickly became the standard among first-person shooters. Alien Resurrection may not be perfect, but there's no question its controls were way ahead of its time.
