It was just the other day that we asked what your favourite movie based on a game was, and now we’re reversing it - upending the tea table, so to speak - in this Question of the Day:
What is your favourite game based on a movie?
We could cheat a little and extend that to include movie properties, which would technically allow you to mention games not necessarily based on this or that particular movie, but set during the same timeframe (ala Transformers or Avatar).
The first game that springs to mind for me personally is the latest Wolverine game - extremely violent but a very well made title overall.

I will have to say the best one I've played based on a movie was Xmen Wolverine. It was really awesome. Saw was also really good for me, I still have to play the second one. (I'm a big SAW fan. Own all 7 movies). Terminator Salvation was a fun 3 hours, (on hard) but not worth buying.
The first three Harry Potter games were pretty awesome (on the PS2 at least), or is it just fond childhood memories? Though not entirely based on the movies alone, they came after the movies were released.
BATMAN AND CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK :)
I have to Say X-men Wolverine.
@Fletbed - Was the chronicles of riddick games filling the gap in between the movies?
SAW was really good along with Batman, i enjoyed the first Transformers need to try the others, Avatar is ok but really has nothing to do with the movie.
I really don't like movie license tie-ins, I don't think I've ever even played one. Chronicles of Riddick is apparently very good, but it's wasn't a tie-in, it bridged the gap between the movies, as SKWEH mentioned, and it came out well over a year after the movie did. So I suppose it was a game based on a movie, but it wasn't a tie-in released around the same time to capitalise on the marketing. Also, Rocksteady's Batman games aren't based on a movie.
So to actually answer the question, my favourite game based on a movie was the 1988 Robocop arcade game.
Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters. I don't think I've played any other games based on movies, so I guess Im biased.
It has to be one of the Lego games for me. Either Pirates of the Caribbean or Harry Potter.
