There's nothing like a good movie is there? Whether you're scared at the cinema or sluggled up (nlergh!) at home on the sofa, nothing beats a good movie. Or, a really good TV series. But there's one problem with TV programs or movies - videogames.
That's right - videogames. Spin-offs of classic movies or Tv series are one of the single most annoying things known to man. Usually because, quite simply, they suck. A prime example for what I'm talking about:
The Simpson's Wrestling.
Simpson's Wrestling on the PSOne is one of the most god awful games I've ever had the misfortune of playing. You get four different moves and you can throw or pin an opponent - and that's basically it. The different characters have no different attributes and all play exactly the same. Simpson's Wrestling makes no effort to capture the magnificence of the TV show. And that's the kind of thing I'm talking about.
The "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" series of games is another cash-in that really sucks ass. I'm sick of dire videogames based on optical media. I shudder to think about how bad the "The Weakest Link" game is going to be........
