5 Great Movie-Making Videogames

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





3. You're In The Movies

Play It On: Xbox 360

Gameplay: Using a camera and a green screen, You're In The Movies provides a series of mini games that allows players the chance to act in several short movies.

The concepts are ripped straight from some big blockbusters (though without the copyrighted elements that would require licensing fees!) and let you play-act in a variety of genres.

Ever wanted to be a superhero? A scream queen? A cop? You can do all of it and more, but be warned that the novelty can wear off fast.

And while there are plenty of genres and shorts to choose from, it's not quite as endlessly playable as the business simulator-type games, nor does it give you control over much besides your mates' mugging performances.

Still, you can always make your friends/family members into stars (or embarrass them for life) by sticking the results on YouTube...

Can You Expand Upon It? Not yet.

      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...
