Video game tie-ins of movies such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Clash of the Titans, Iron Man, and the Harry Potter series have been colossal failures in the gaming community.
"You would think it would be a no-brainer," gamer Ripoff23 writes. "After all, most of these are better games than movies anyway..."
Bill McNeil, head of Sega Games, who recently released the movie tie-in of Thor: God of Thunder, sees things differently. "Sure, you can blame us for crap like the Iron Man games, but you try stretching a two hour movie into a one hour game! Wait..."
Look for absolutely awful video game tie-ins of Green Lantern, X-Men: First Class and Captain America this summer...

I'm still waiting with baited breath for the launch of The Phantom II videogame, slated to coincide with the fall release of the sequel to the '96 slam movie. Billy Zane is going to reprise his role in "The Phantom Saves Christmas" and they say he'll be doing the voice work for the game. Though, for some weird contract mix-up, he's only going to be doing the voice of Mecha-Claus.
