Remember when this used to happen all the time?

Over the last few weeks we at the RPS Electronic Wireless Showpodcasthave noticed a slight resurgence in a trend we thought was basically over. That’s right: video game tie-ins to films! There used to be loads of them, and now there aren’t. Except there are again, culminating in Renfield (of all movies) having a Vampire Survivorslike you can actually buy on actual Steam. What’s going on? Is this marking the start of something new? What are some of our favourite game tie ins?

Plus we put the boot in on a couple of Tweets about the Mario movie, because why not, frankly.
