The day has finally come: You've got enough free time indoors to tackle the laundry list of great video games on your yearslong backlog.

We made one small change: Since there are a handful of duplicates on the Metacritic list (multiple versions of the same game, games released on multiple platforms), we're using the highest-ranked version of the game to make room for a handful of games that wouldn't have otherwise made the list.
Platforms: PlayStation 2, PlayStation, Game Boy Color, GameCube, Xbox, Game Boy Advance, PC, Nintendo 64, Mac
In case you are keeping track:

It’s really cool, and something that I never really thought of as a thing that I would have. I remember growing up, I bought a couple of box sets that were really meaningful to me. I bought the Led Zeppelin box set of all their albums, and stuff like that. It was a coveted item. It’s an incredible honor to have something like that made of your music.

The Best Video Games Based on Movies | Digital Trends
Video games based on movies are notoriously bad, and because of that, many go unnoticed. Still, there are a lot of hidden gems available. In this guide, we’re counting down our 10 best video games based on movies.
