The top 3 best movie and TV tie-in games for iPhone and iPad
Last week, Alien: Blackout landed on mobile. It's a pretty interesting take on the franchise that sees you playing as Ripley's daughter and guiding a team of rescuers through the xenomorph-infested corridors of a stricken space station. Think Five Nights at Freddy's but with Giger-designed monsters instead of animatronic teddy bears and you're getting there.
All of that made us think about the other games you can grab on the App Store that are based on best-selling pop culture franchises. We've picked three, but obviously there are way more out there. We'd love to hear if you've got your own, so do make your own suggestions in the comments section down at the bottom of the article.
That about covers it. Click here and you can check out all the other awesome lists we've written over the past few months. Each of them reveals some of the best games you can get on mobile, so once you've read them all you're going to be something close to a mobile gaming expert.
