This was a cool book to help me learn more about one of my favorite topics. Movies being made into video games helped shape my video game love at a young age. Many of my favorites were included here, but it was fascinating to learn about so many more I never knew existed. Book length is perfect for small summaries of each game instead of milking it for word count like other books of his genre do. If the topic interests you, you'll enjoy this as a nice easy read.

A treasure trove of jumping off points for nostalgists and younger games alike. If the format means there’s a disappointing lack of analysis of wider trends in the games discussed, Carton does an admirable job of getting across the style, format and quality of each of the many, many titles under discussion. Enjoy the trivia, feel bittersweet feelings about how games used to be, and marvel at the hubris of producing multiple Treasure Planet games.

An interesting look at games based on movies, some really interesting information in it. A must read for game (and movie) fans!
