10. Spider-Man 2 (PS2, Xbox)
To be brutally honest, there has never been an amazing movie-to-game adaptation before; that is generally the rule behind these obligatory franchise titles. They are no good and never will be. Despite that well known fact, there were, by my count, four exceptions to this rule, those being The Incredible Hulk, Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Spider-Man 2. Not only did these titles break the mold to movie-games, they were good enough to be judged on their own. For example, if we were to critique the X-Men Origins game based on its movie companion, we would have given it a negative ten. Luckily, that's not the case with these four special titles. Spider-Man 2 gave Spidey-fans the same experience that Arkham Asylum gave to Bat-fans. We became Spider-Man and honestly felt as though we were zipping through New York city on webs of our own. There were missions where players had to deliver pizzas, play arcade games (inside of a game...gameception), and stop random crimes throughout the map. The city was always bustling with things to do both as Peter and Spider-Man.
Best Part: Changing characters. Entering a few fun cheat codes could allow one to change their player from Spidey to Mary Jane, Green Goblin, and even Jonah Jameson. Oh, and of course, you still had access to your spider-powers, so slinging webs as Aunt May was no longer just a fantasy.
9. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (PS3, 360)
This game, for those of you who have not played it, is essentially just one big parody of the 80s. For starters, the game takes place in 2008, a time where cyborgs and humans fight throughout a post apocalyptic world. Well, unless I was asleep for a long while, I don't remember that ever happening, but that's just the fun of this game. From beginning to end, we are put in situations right out of 80s movies, and have to push our foul-mouthed protagonist, Sergeant Rex Power Colt (possibly the greatest name ever), through them. You can download a demo for the game right now that sets up the tone of it all. Throughout the intro, Rex gives us these witty one-liners which break the fourth wall by telling players that he already knows what to do and needs no help with the controls. If you have a keen eye for classic action flicks, then you'll also catch several nods to Predator, Die Hard, and Pulp Fiction among many more.
Best Part: The game realises it's one big joke and never takes itself too seriously, but it uses Far Cry 3's great gameplay mechanics and graphics to make it feel like an actual title, rather than just something you would find in the darkest pits of the indie games bin.
