Welcome to The Best Games Ever Show episode 58: The best use of a mega popular license.

Licensed games are big business. The richest studios and publishers in the galaxy all have a foothold in the gaming space because, as countless CEOs and market analysts tell us every year, video games make more money than Hollywood, musical theatre, gardening programmes, the broadcasting rights for Shinty, and the GDP of Wales combined. It is for this reason that everyone working in video games lives in a castle with a moat and a bentley on the driveway.

All of the biggest media brands are represented in our humble medium. Star Wars. Star Trek. Stargate. Star Fox. America. Andy Kelly’s tweets. The list goes on. But not every licensed property is leveraged effectively for maximum engagement (that’s CEO speak for “used properly”). Some licensed games are better than others. So which one is the best, according to our esteemed panel?
