With the Tron game receiving a decent review score on our site, we put a tough question out to our Twitter community--what's the last movie-based game that you enjoyed? Here are their answers.
The upcoming movie adaptation Tron: Evolution notched a 3.5 out of 5 in our review this past weekend. While that score is average for most big releases, it's sadly one of the higher-scoring movie tie-ins of late. With under-performing movie adaptations continuing to plauge gaming, we put the following question out to our Twitter community:
We gave Tron a 3.5/5, which makes it better than most movie games. Which recent adaptions have you liked? Best answers posted, one wins swagless than a minute ago via TweetDeck

@GamePro - Ghostbusters. The game had the characters, jokes, and a great story. On top of it all, it made you feel like a Ghostbuster.less than a minute ago via web

Our choice for today's top tweet goes to louiedog, who brought up an alternative way for movie games to reach the marketplace without having to deal with traditional adaptation ailments.

Try as they might, the movie and video game industries have rarely had their schedules in sync. Thankfully, recent years (and projects) have allowed the titans of each industry to learn how to create what's best for the viewers and players.
