## Summary

Movie tie-in games have often been dismissed as rushed products, but some have become acclaimed experiences by expanding on their films or building on their worlds in new ways. The article ranks ten games based on movies, arguing that a strong adaptation can stand on its own and even improve on its source.

The supplied text describes three entries: *Peter Jackson’s King Kong*, which combines first-person survival with playable Kong battles and an alternate ending; *X-Men Origins: Wolverine*, praised for its gory combat and expanded story; and *Alien: Isolation*, which follows Ellen Ripley’s daughter aboard a station where a dynamically hunting Xenomorph recreates the original film’s suspense. The article says *King Kong* set a cinematic standard on Xbox 360, while the *Wolverine* game was widely considered superior to its poorly received film.
