3 Types of Games All Film Fans Should Play

July 1, 2020 Posted by Abigail Massimo Editorial No Comments

Are you a bit of a movie buff? Are you also a self-confessed avid gamer? If so, you should merge these two great passions of yours by indulging in the games listed below.

At present, there are Marvel and DC superhero video games for Playstation. You can also find Justice League, The Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tomb Raider and many more games on the App Store and Google Play Store as well. There are also online stores, like Toynk, where you can find movie-based video games and collectibles too!

Here are three types of games that all film fans like yourself should play:

Casino Games

If you’re a fan of the James Bond movie franchise, then you should definitely consider playing casino games. Even if you indulge in this type of game from the comfort of your own home, experiencing the thrill of taking financial risks and playing calculated hands will no doubt make you feel just like 007!

Don’t have the capacity to jet off and enjoy a weekend break in Monte Carlo? If not, don’t worry as there are plenty of ways to experience the thrill of a live casino via online platforms. You can have just as much fun playing the likes of poker, blackjack, and roulette in this fashion, which means that you don’t have to break the bank just to get a slice of the 007 lifestyle. Before you do decide to take up online gaming as a pastime, be sure to learn all about live casino games. This will help you to play live poker and blackjack in a safe, responsible, and enjoyable way.

Film Tie-In Games

Every time a new blockbuster is released in the cinema, you can be sure that a tie-in game is going to be created soon after in a bid to capitalise on the popularity of the original movie. These games follow the same story arc as their movie progenitors, allowing film/game lovers like yourself to experience the same trials and tribulations that they saw on the big screen.

It must be said that, more often than not, these types of games fail to replicate or live up to the movie that they were created to tie into. Every so often, however, a tie-in game bucks this trend and actually does its progenitor proud. Some of the very best movie tie-in games are as follows:

  • Knights Of The Old Republic — based onthe Star Wars franchise
  • GoldenEye 007 — based on the James Bond franchise
  • The Battle for Middle-Earth — based on The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy

Games that Feature Film Stars

Film stars no longer just feature in media created solely for the silver screen. Today, there is a lucrative market out there for games that feature movie stars in them. Whether they appear fleetingly as part of a cut scene, or whether they actually lend their voice and likeliness to a playable character, more and more film stars are now appearing in video games.

If you fancy playing as your favorite film stars, then you should be sure to give the following games a go:

  • True Crime: Streets of LA — featuring Christopher Walken and Gary Oldman
  • Sleeping Dogs — featuring Emma Stone
  • Stormfall: Rise of Balur — featuring Megan Fox
