It's common knowledge that video games and movies don't always get along. There have been countless movies based off of video games and vice versa. Although sometimes they work, with games like Alien: Isolation and the recent Sonic the Hedgehog movie, more often than not the two just don't mix. There have been so many movies that have been cursed with awful video game treatments, that this list could go on for ages.

The games we've chosen as the worst were given that title for a number of reasons. They're bad in terms of game play and mechanics, they have limited or no reference to the source material or they're a horrendous combination of both. Whatever the reason, these video games were total flops when compared to the movies they are based on.

10 AUSTIN POWERS PINBALL

Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery is a womanizer, a British icon and a secret agent. At no point in any of the movies is there the remotest suggestion that he has or wants anything to do with pinball. So why a game was made with that as its core focus is beyond us. This could have been to James Bond what Saints Row is to Grand Theft Auto.

Unfortunately, the only references to the source material are incredibly pixelated faces from the movie and a slew of catch phrases that blare over the speakers, seemingly at random. On top of that, it's not even a good pinball game. The bright colors and erratic designs on the machine make it nearly impossible to see what's going on.

9 FIGHT CLUB

A lot of games have taken movies, stripped away their meaning and turned them into non-nonsensical fighting games. The title of Fight Club might suggest that this is a perfect movie to do that for. However, anyone who has watched the movie knows that it is not really about fighting at all. It's a cerebral journey into the main character's psychosis. Sure there are a few good fight scenes but they don't really translate well to a video game.

Despite the roster of 15 characters, there are only three fighting styles in the whole game. If you wanted to make a cheap knock off fighting game, there were probably movies with a more fitting cast to do it for. This is just a bunch of regular guys who barely know how to throw a punch.

8 SHREK SMASH N' CRASH RACING

Shrek rides on a swamp creature

Pixar has a long history of pumping out mediocre games to stand alongside their fan favorite movies. There is Ratatouille, Over the Hedge and Wreck-it Ralph to name a few. The problem with Shrek Smash N' Crash Racing is it's just that; it's a racing game. Not that we don't like racing games, but this is such an obvious rip off of Mario Kart it begs the question: why wouldn't we just play Mario Kart?

We love the characters in Shrek and if the time has been taken to make a decent adventure platformer it may have gotten some praise. But such an obvious rip off with no real connection to the movies just isn't worth our time.

7 CATWOMAN

What do you get when you take one of the worst superhero movies of all time and try to make a video game out of it? An even worse game. Catwoman should've been left alone after the movie but some money grubber decided that they would try to capitalize further on this unsuccessful venture. This game is a testament to everything wrong with awful superhero video games.

This is the definition of a rinse and repeat action game. Bad guys show up, show off their awful AI, you punch them in the face with the same few repetitive moves, move onto the next level and do the same thing until you throw this game in the garbage.

6 ENTER THE MATRIX

Not that this game wasn't fun to play, but it's kind of misleading when you create a game called The Matrix but you don't get to play as the character that makes it such a great franchise. When we picked this game up off the shelf, we imagined we would be dodging bullets and delivering Kung-Fu beat down as Neo. Instead, we were forced to play as Ghost and Niobe, two supporting characters that we kind of forgot even existed.

It was still fun to get to run around guns blazing and delivers slow motion roundhouse kicks to law enforcement, even if the combat was unpolished. It's just that the developers should have known that no one wants to play as anyone else other than Neo.

5 STREET FIGHTER: THE MOVIE

This is a game that's based on a movie, that's based on a game. That alone should be an indication that it was destined to fail. Take away the nostalgic designs of the original Street Fighter games and mix them with a brand new fighting engine that ruins the smooth gameplay and you're left with Street Fighter: The Movie.

The characters look awful because they're animated versions of real life people based on animated characters. If the movie based on the game was bad, then someone should really have figured out that a video game based on that bad movie would be even worse.

4 THE WIZARD OF OZ

It should be a crime to take such a beloved movie and absolutely run it into the ground. Well, that's what happened with The Wizard of Oz for SNES. We remember the lovable story of a girl named Dorothy embarking on an adventure with an oddball group of companions to try and get back to her home. We don't remember Dorothy leaping across tree tops collecting fruit, kicking woodland creatures in the head and carrying around a magic wand.

This game is a classic example of what SNES did back in the day. They took a movie, turned it into a muddling platformer with sketchy controls and then released it to the unassuming masses who didn't have the internet to tell them not to buy it.

3 BACK TO THE FUTURE

The coolest part about Back to the Future is of course the time travel. Whoever decided to do away with that in lieu of this train wreck clearly didn't watch the movie. As Marty McFly, you ride your skateboard down the street collecting clocks, avoiding bees and throwing indistinguishable black balls at women hula hooping in the streets.

When that's over and done with, you have to stand behind the bar in a cafe and throw what looks like balled up rags at an endless stream of identical bullies. There's one part where you get to play the guitar, but then it's right back to the clocks, bees and hula hooping girls.

2 E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL

If you like falling into holes and having no idea what's going on due to graphics that resemble a bowl of mud, then E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is the game for you. This game is like the forefather of bad games. It was put together in a rush for Christmas due to the overwhelming popularity of the E.T. film that year. With such a short time to turn the game around, it's a wonder it even worked.

In fact, the game was so bad it was part of the mythical Atari burial site. It's not often that a game is so horrendous in both game play and visuals that 1300 copies need to be buried underground so no one can ever get their hands on them.

1 SUPERMAN 64

Superman 64 Video Game

Although this may be based more on the TV show, it does take influence from the Christopher Reeves movies, and is without a doubt a bad game of legendary proportions. As kids, we wanted to take control of Superman to leap over top of buildings in a single bound, run faster than a speeding locomotive and pummel super-powered enemies with our bare hands. What we didn't want, was to fly through a bunch of silver hoops with controls that were more painful than ripping your own hair pit.

If you ask anyone what the worst video game of all time is, Superman 64 will definitely be in the conversation. It takes real skill, or a real detest for video gamers, to make a game this bad.
