5. YooStar

Play It On: Windows PC (Mac coming later in 2009)

Gameplay: This one is like a more advanced version of You're In The Movies - you hook up the camera to the computer, stand in front of the green screen and act in shorts.

But YooStar has an advantage in the deals the company has signed with major studios to allow their movie footage to be used in your work.

Among the snippets available are Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Blues Brothers, Rocky Balboa, Some Like It Hot, The Terminator and more.

And the quality is decidedly better since it uses a much more sophisticated camera to capture your image.

So if you've ever wanted to insert yourself into scenes of, say, The Godfather, this system will let you live that dream.

There are a couple of major downsides, particularly for UK readers - so far, it's only just come out across the pond. And it currently costs around $170, so it's not cheap.

A UK release is apparently on the cards, but there's no firm info yet.

Can You Expand Upon It? It came out this month, so we're going with... no.

Like This? Then try...

  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...
