Transformers: Dark of the Moon is voted best film-based video game

Due to the excitement surrounding last week’s highly anticipated release of Batman: Arkham City, it’s clear that games based on big film franchises (and comic books too of course, but that’s a different article) are increasingly popular despite some gamers finding them a little contrived at times.

A new study conducted by gaming comparison service Playr2 aimed to find out which was the ULTIMATE video game based on a film according to more than 1,100 gamers (they could select more than one answer). Transformers: Dark of the Moon clinched the top spot, even if the film was a bit disappointing. Some older games, like Goldeneye 007, interestingly ranked pretty highly too, making it into Playr2’s top 10 list.
