5 Great Movie-Making Videogames

Ever wanted to be a director? This lot give you the chance...



2. The Sims 3

Play It On: Windows PC, Mac OSX, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Android

Gameplay:
While it's not a dedicated movie-making title like some of the others on this list, the wildly popular Sims series has several advantages.

For one, it's the latest release of any we've looked at and therefore boasts impressive graphics and some nifty tech under the hood.

Your created Sim characters can now wander a much wider space without the crippling load times of other, previous releases.

And there's a lot more AI on board, which means they're more intelligent and can enjoy a much more realistic life.

So you can use the characters to create mini-movies of your own choosing, albeit ones restricted by the world they live in.

They'll still be better than the average Paul WS Anderson film.

Can You Expand Upon It?
Since it's new, this in itself an expansion, though given the huge popularity of the Sims series, we're sure there will be more packs on the way.

      Did no one ever play "Steven Spielberg's Directors Chair"?! It had Jennifer Aniston, Quentin Tarantino, Katherine Helmond, and Penn & Teller all in it. And even Michael Kahn telling you how to bloody edit! What the hell more could you want?

      The Movies = great game. The Sims 3 = not so much...

      No mention of Stuntman, or it's sequel, Stuntman: Ignition? For shame...
