10. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Starting this list off with a bit of a cheat, Scott Pilgrim vs The World is one of the rare movie tie-in games from ten years ago that was actually damn good, but the reason you'll never play it again is simple: it's not actually available anymore.

Published by Ubisoft to coincide with Edgar Wright's movie of the same name, the side-scrolling beat-em-up actually boasted the designs of the original graphic novel series, with pitch-perfect sprites of your favourite characters battling through iconic backdrops and delivering their signature moves (all set to some incredible music, of course).

Tragically, the game vanished from storefronts and was delisted in 2014 unceremoniously, and Ubisoft hasn't commented on it since. Comic creator Bryan Lee O'Malley has apparently tried to get it back, but it's unlikely to ever materialise.
