Sometimes you’ll love a film so much that you want to be a part of the action. And that’s where video games come in, as there’s a massive range of gaming titles from shoot-em-ups to online casino sites that can all give you the lead role in your favourite movie!
Star Wars
The biggest movie of last year was undoubtedly Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And whilst Star Wars fans have certainly been spoiled for choice with RPGs like Knights of the Old Republic in the past, it was nothing compared to 2015’s Battlefront. This game for Xbox One, PS4 and Windows was the most action-packed Star Wars game yet, that even gave fans the chance to wear the dark robes of Darth Vader!
Batman
Another figure in black who’s shown impressive recent gaming form is Batman. Last year saw the awesome Arkham Knight console game that illustrated Gotham City with impressive graphical depth and even gave you the opportunity to drive a Batmobile. Furthermore, the caped crusader even made an appearance at arguably the best online casino with Betway featuring a Batman slot game encouraging gamers to win big whilst paying homage to this iconic DC Comics character.
James Bond
Even fictional characters as legendary as James Bond have had some notable gaming successes. Probably his most memorable outing was as part of the GoldenEye game for the Nintendo 64 that quickly became an iconic shoot-em-up hit for the British spy. However, in recent years Bond has yet to have a release worthy of the brand name with a Casino Royale game being abandoned, and many sites mocking Bond’s more recent gaming outings.
Lord of the Rings
For a story as rich and complex as Lord of the Rings, it was only a matter of time before it reached our consoles. And 2002’s Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers game for PS2 and Xbox delivered fantasy fans enough hack’n’slash gaming exploits to keep them entertained until the fall of Mordor. And with an endless array of orcs, trolls and swordplay to discover, it’s an often-forgotten precursor to many of our more popular battle arena hits.
Spiderman
And finally, the DC Comics hero, Spiderman, came up with a winning formula with the Spiderman 2 game. This was groundbreaking in the way that it presented a perfectly animated lead character who wove webs and fought crime through the cityscape. And although Spidey’s superpowers are definitely due a revamp for 2016’s gaming scene, it’s surely only a matter of time before we see the famous comic-book character in an online casino game near you soon!
