Top 10 Fictional Video Games In Movies


shall we play oh who said video games
and movies can’t go ahead and hit tell
about global thermal nuclear war
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 fictional video games in movies you
made a fan screaming about your console
it’s not why some stead of wookie but
Sir nobody worries about upsetting a
droid it’s cuz a droid don’t pull
people’s arms out of their sockets when
they lose we’re including video games
that were created after a movie’s
release because they were fictional at
the time and within the movie however
we’re excluding video games that existed
prior to or simultaneously with the
movie in question such as the tie-in
games related to Tron number 10 ninja
ninja revolution Scott Pilgrim vs. the
world get ready here we go here we go
Scott Pilgrim vs. the world is
supercharged with one brilliant video
game amage after another some of which
are obvious and others you’ll have to
look closely at to catch
one of the film’s best nods to gaming
culture is ninja ninja revolution this
rhythm arcade game is essentially Dance
Dance Revolution except instead of
recreating dance moves the players
recreate deadly ninja moves which I
think we can all agree is a million
times more epic Ginja ninja I never get
past that huh
don’t beat yourself up about it after
defeating the deadly Negin inja you
should have no problem taking on any of
your girlfriend’s exes number 9
demonic Grandma’s Boy what’s this hmm
there’s a video game I’m making it’s
kind of a side project well good for you
honey
you wanna play it I don’t know but okay
Alex might seem like a lazy
thirtysomething year-old who lives with
his grandmother end well yeah he kind of
is that’s your new room baby Wow grandma
this is nice
but when he’s not slacking off however
this video game tester puts a lot of
hard work and creativity into designing
demonic which centers on a demon for
hire who will tend to oliver revenge
needs okay you know what use your
fireballs to blow a hole in that wall
that’s great go in there go in the
demonic was actually intended to be a
real xbox 360 game but was sadly
cancelled due to financial difficulties
well so that’s my game and you know what
I have a little more work to do so if
you want to check it ah if this cult
comedy could find a second life on DVD
though maybe there’s hope for demonic as
well she’s designed it by herself
yeah yeah there’s no clipping at all who
did the programming uh I did that too
hey what can I say I’m a 35 year old
prodigy number 8 Buzz Lightyear attack
on xored toy story too
the opening of Toy Story 2 catches the
audience off-guard
as buzz lightyear blast through the
Gamma Quadrant and demolishes an army of
robots
what’s even more shocking though is when
Emperor Zurg incinerates buzzes entire
upper torso this is a g-rated
flick-right fortunately it turns out to
be Buzz Lightyear attack on Zerg
apparently the most graphically advanced
video game of the 90s while we’ve gotten
a few real buzz lightyear video games
nothing’s quite lived up to the
potential demonstrated here
seriously this is Star Wars territory
number seven game over Spy Kids 3d game
over goes online at midnight who needs
sightings pause game over here’s a
virtual reality game you’ll likely never
get to experience on your oculus rift
computer-generated developed by an
insane toy maker played by Sylvester
Stallone game over is like a digital
amusement park full of colorful
environments such as outerspace and lava
Mountain too bad this third entry in the
Spy Kids franchise didn’t come with a
game controller if the industry ever
perfects 3d gaming we’ll gladly put our
glasses on for five levels of mega
racing mecha battling and family fun
number six global thermonuclear war
wargames wouldn’t you that’s a a good
game chess anyone who had a computer in
the 80s likely dabbled in the occasional
game of space invaders or Zork if global
thermonuclear war actually existed it
would have blown those titles out of the
water business primary targets
who should we knew first oh let’s see
how about Las Vegas Las Vegas great
allowing players to either fight for the
US or Soviet Union
this games objective is to nuke the
countries of your choice see how violet
seems like innocent amusement young
Matthew Broderick eventually realizes
that the game has real consequences this
is what happens when parents buy their
kids a computer when they ask for a car
we’re currently tracking approximately
2,400 inbound Soviet warheads but at the
moment we cannot confirm this I repeat
we cannot confirm this number five
Slayers
gamer Slayers slaves if society let us
live through others
through others Slayers gives the gamer
full control of a flesh-and-blood human
being in full-scale kill-or-be-killed
combat Gerard Butler’s already built
like a macho video game character along
the lines of Kratos because of this he’s
the perfect candidate for Slayers
an online game where players actually
control prison inmates Julia the game’s
a spiritual successor to society which
is basically a trash your version of
second life they walk them they talked
him a juice stem in Slayers Butler’s
life is literally put in the hands of a
gamer played by Logan Lerman this film
Pizza thin line between the real world
and virtual world once they collide our
heroes face a potentially dire GAMEOVER
situation
number four Starfighter The Last
Starfighter you have been recruited by
the star league to defend the frontier
against xur and the ko-dan armada get
ready prepare for blast-off anyone who
thinks that video games are just a
mindless waste of time that’ll never
help you in the real world needs to come
work for WatchMojo or check out this
1980s cult classic maril Teen Center
shoot after getting the high score in
Starfighter teenager Alex Rogan
discovers the arcade games true purpose
to seek out those with a gift you are
recruited by the star league to defend
the frontier against xur and the kodan
armada having conquered this training
simulator disguised as a game alex is
ready to pilot a genuine spacecraft so
remember people dedicate your life to
video games and one day you could be the
savior of an alien Defense Force hey it
can happen
number three domination never say never
again I designed it myself
but my problem is I’ve never had found a
booth the adversary’ no evil masterminds
rec room would be complete without
domination a high-stakes game with
shocking consequences in never say never
again
domination involves opponents shooting
lasers at targeted countries for world
conquest we will be fighting for
countries chosen at random by the
Machine the image of James Bond facing
off with big bad maximilian largo via
golden TV screens admittedly looks silly
but it’s more exciting than you might
expect 9000 gave me a shock oh I’m sorry
I forgot unlike armchair generals we
will share the pain of our soldiers in
form of electric shocks while it might
not top goldeneye double-oh-seven
domination should at the very least be a
DLC for the next James Bond game number
2 alien child her taking place in the
not-too-distant future her envisions a
world of tomorrow that feels strangely
believable don’t be surprised if video
games are transmitted via hologram and
controls become obsolete one day stop
hogging this direction is the other way
thank you thank you
we also wouldn’t be shocked if one of
these games features an alien child with
a high-pitched voice and vulgar
vocabulary do you know how to get out of
here I need to find my ship to get off
this planet
you shithead fuckface kid we’d gladly
spend our nights following this little
intergalactic Punk as he spouts
obscenities at us unless maybe an
operating system with the voice of
Scarlett Johansson was available for a
date well you seem like a person but
you’re just a voice in a computer I can
understand how the limited perspective
of an artificial mind would perceive it
that way
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
listen to me
I think we’re still inside the game I
think your pods out there somewhere so
we’re safe I think it’s alright to let
go of this one this pod you die you die
no I’ll just see that I just chopped off
your head again your heads rolling you
can’t see it because your eyes are on
your head sir what I’m busy playing a
video game without even looking at the
screen number one sugar rush wreck-it
Ralph
a first-person shooter like heroes duty
is tempting but the inner child in us
will always crave the inventive kart
racer like sugar rush
every card powerup and Road being
constructed from junk food this vibrant
gaming world from wreckit-ralph is like
Candyland with Willy Wonka’s nuttiness
sprinkled on top what’s this cherry bomb
obviously inspired by Mario Kart sugar
rush is a sweet sweet Canyon of wacky
fast-paced pure imagination
lighter fingers crossed that it becomes
a home console game someday or at least
appears in Kingdom Hearts 3 keep it
under control
