Where THQ or EA once published many of the biggest names, a publisher called Outright Games has now cornered the market. So, what happened to movie games? Did they peak and fizzle in the age of CRT TVs and inflatable furniture? Well, while they might not be made for every single blockbuster now, they still slip through the cracks.
