Play Along with the Film!

When gaming moved from the 16-bit era and into the exciting realm of 3D gameplay, Hollywood properties continued their journey into the interactive medium. Popular home and handheld consoles played host to ambitious titles that sought to bridge the gap between movies and video games, providing fans with scenarios that both replicated and went beyond their favourite stories.

Gathered in this book are some of the biggest video games that originated from movies; some being direct adaptations and others that expanded existing universes. With 20 chapters covering over 450 games - including every Lego movie video game and franchises such as Star Wars, Aliens, Disney, Pixar and The Lord of the Rings - _A Guide to Movie Based Video Games: 2001-2023_ gives readers a chance to revisit and discover the ups and downs of licenced titles across two action-packed decades.

Load up the reels, press start, and immerse yourself in timeless adventures!

Chris Carton loves video games and movies, both good and bad. He was born in Galway, but now lives in Cork with his family, where he still tries to play and watch as many games and movies as he can squeeze into his busy family life. He once saved his pocket money and spent it on Small Soldiers for PS1, so you’re in good hands here. He has previously written _A Guide to Video Game Movies_ and _The Ultimate Book of Movie Monsters_ for Pen & Sword/White Owl books.
