The two Terminator films were excellent, as many people know. 3, Salvation, Dark Fate? Don't know what you're talking about, buddy! Sadly, it's games have been pretty much all shit. There are a couple exceptions though.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day for the arcade/Genesis was a big favorite as a kid. The arcade version was the best, but I owned the Genesis port and it was still a fun time. I never once made it past the truck level though. Apparently it's well known for being brutal as hell.

Terminator: Resistance would be my second choice. It was a AA game for sure, but that's not a bad thing. I think there should be more AA games being made. That said, it still wasn't an amazing game, but it felt a lot more faithful than any other Terminator game I've ever played.

Ultimately, both are kinda mid tier games, but they weren't shit! That's... something. I hope some day we'll get a Terminator game that'll fit into the vibe of the series like Alien: Isolation did. That wasn't a perfect game either, but it got the vibe down perfectly. It's also one of the only horror games I haven't beaten yet because it's friggen scary and intense. >.> Horror doesn't usually get to me, but Alien: Isolation did. I guess it was the feeling of cat and mouse, never being safe and the alien's (in?)famous AI.

There is also Future Shock and Skynet for DOS. I've never played them, but they look super neat. Civvie 11 did a video on them, check it out if you have the time and/or interest.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories

I played that game for countless hours going through the same exact story over and over again. I loved the fusion system this game had as it was mostly logic based. Combine a dragon with a zombie, Zombie Dragon. Combine a warrior with a FIRE or Pyro monster, you get Flame Swordsman. Experimenting with this was fun.

I wish Konami would make a game like this again instead of one that follows the rules of th real card game to a T.

The toy story games were pretty good, but the buzz lightyear platformer was great. Also the platinum licensed games are all at least.... playable. Legend of Korra and Transformers Devastation are both good times.

The Harry Potter games were pretty great, at least for the first 3 movies. Kinda funny how the games and movies hide how mediocre the books are (imo).

Transformers War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron were also incredi le third person shooters. Some of the best you'd get from that entire generation of consoles! Really hopin the rumors of remasters are true.

As a kid I liked the Spider-Man 2 Nintendo GameCube game as well as Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! on the Nintendo 64.

Hook - (I played the genesis/snes versions) but the sega cd version contains that amazing soundtrack from the movie.

Vampire Hunter D - yes it's a resident evil clone. But it contains most of the characters from the film with the original voice actors. Great opening sequence, solid soundtrack which sets the mood, and fantastic credits music. Only on PS1 lol.

Batman and Robin PS1. Say what you like about it, but this game had great ambitions. Fighting system. Batmobile. Open world. Gadgets. Actual clue solving / beating criminals to the punch. Execution was lacking clearly. But it was pretty ahead for it's time and I enjoyed it.
