Activision makes better movie games than "almost anybody." So says Transformers producer, Jason Ades.
Speaking to CVG in London last week, the Activision man said it's "absolutely" possible to make a great movie tie-in game.
"I think if you have great partners, great film makers, a great movie, a great movie story and the development time that you need to make the game, then yeah, you can make excellent movie-based games. And they're out there," he said.
"Obviously as gamers and games press we're much more critical of movie games than the average consumer that goes out, sees the movie, gets really excited and wants to extend their experience with the film," he added. "They're far less critical than we are as hardcore gamers.
"But the fact is I think if you were to really look at the aggregate scores of most Activision movie games compared to a lot of other companies, you'd find that they're actually at the forefront of making better movie games than almost anybody out there pretty consistently for the past few years," he said.
"Do I believe that people can make excellent movie games? Yeah," he concluded. "Just look at Arkham Asylum, that game just blew people away."

Right, first of all, even if they are among the best, those are games are still nothing to be proud of. Secondly, Arkham Asylum is not a movie game!
