A few days ago we were paging through the week's video game releases, just to make sure we hadn't missed anything, and curled up nice and cozy was something called Grease: The Game. Yes, THAT Grease. Somehow, 32 years after the '50s-themed musical was released, it's turned into a collection of Wii minigames based on what is apparently an irresistible blend of sockhoppery, weird condom jokes, and Stockard Channing butching it up in a pink jacket. At first glance, it would appear to be the most bizarre video game ever to be adapted from a movie...but is it? Is it really? Turns out there are lots of games that go far beyond the usual merchandising gold rush when a popular movie comes out, resulting something that is an incomprehensible mess and/or psychologically scarring for developer and player alike. So feel free to watch the 10 movies these games are based on, but try to stay away from the games if you can...

Complex Says: When a movie is that bad, we don't care if the game is finished—you call that shit off! You wipe the code, burn the hard copies, and claim ignorance all the way to the grave. Rumor has that Hayden Christensen tried playing this game, only to have his fedora jump off his head and over his face in a vain attempt to stop the atrocity.
