In this week's installment of Top 10 Tuesdays, the Gaming Irresponsibly weekly series, Matt Beaudette counts down the top 10 licensed games. With all the bad licensed games out there, these 10 stand apart as the actual good ones.
TheMoviePool takes a look at the volatile history between movies and their video game counterparts in order to bring you the handful of games that actually managed to pull it off.

Joystick Division runs down the ten best ensemble casts in the history of video games, from Psychonauts to Knights of the Old Republic. Did your favorite make the list?

LucasArts had dropped a bomb by saying that a new Star Wars game would be revealed at the event. The Internet immediately exploded with the possibilities and hopes of fanboys all over the world. So what did we get? Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, and a heaping helping of disappointment. The incredibly short game failed to live up to expectations, and have made fans even more up..."
"Our list looks back across the last 10 years to find a surprising number of compelling characters whose origin was completely artificial. Whether a malevolent computer program or a sentient transforming robot, these characters showed that science fiction storytelling is fond of the idea of machines that can think for themselves."

The theme featured is the battle music, which clearly demonstrates the theme of the game."

And if you’re a player, it’s probably because you’re sick of listening to a bunch of cookie-cutter whine..."

"Weve all played a game where someone other than the main character has a huge role in the game, usually an unsung role.
