This week sees the DVD, Blu-ray and Digital release of zombie apocalypse smackdown Dead Rising: Watchtower, the latest in a long line of popular video games turned into movies.
But not all video game movies get a 1up from fans in their transition from pixels to picture house – in fact, some will have you reaching for the joystick just so you’ve got something to smash through the screen.
To celebrate, here’s a rundown of the very best to very, very worst video game movies.
1. Prince of Persia (2010)
The Game: Groundbreaking old school platformer that’s big on swords, sand and sorcery.
The Movie: A brainless, blockbuster-sized romp, also big on swords, sand and sorcery.
The Verdict: Epic popcorn fodder action, fan pleasing nods to the original game, and Jake Gyllenhaal’s bangs absolutely bossing it. This prince is the king of video game movies to date.
