Computer Games Based on Movies

Within the last few years there were a lot of computer games released that were based on games. Titles like Lord of the Rings Online or Star Wars Galaxies are an example of that. Developers know that monetizing the popularity of specific movies can be a great idea and it often works. That is because even if the game would not get rated very well, there will still be fans who will want to play it as playing a game offers a new dimension compared to watching movies. It is also interesting that there are some movies based on games. An example of that would be Resident Evil, which was a very popular game, and eventually arrived on the big screen.
