The Magnum Dong Licensed Game List

Licensed games are like assholes; everyone's got them, but what matters is what asshole is better than the other asshole. Did that analogy make any sense, No? Too bad that's the best I can come up with.

(This list will never truly be finished since I can't play every licensed game ever made so I'm gonna be updating this game periodically as I play more or log more that I forgot to log in.)

Aliens vs. Predator
Aliens vs. Predator
Marines Campaign: It's reminiscent of almost every other dark grimy FPS of its era, at most it's just boring.

Xenomorph Campaign: Underwhelming Arkham stealth system mixed together with a character who moves too fast, and can climb on almost all surfaces, making it more of a challenge of not throwing up rather than a challenge on the game's part. It's the worst campaign of the 3.

Predator Campaign: The most fun I've had during the whole game. If they made the hand-to-hand combat better and the AI more responsive it would've been perfect.
Barnyard
Barnyard
Trying to play this in 8K is one of my most cherished moments with friends, other than that it's just a whatever kids game.
Batman: Arkham Origins
Batman: Arkham Origins
The most tedious and by the numbers Arkham game to date, at least the setting is pretty great.

No Clayface 4/10
Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion
Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion
I admire the attempt to make a smash bros but for CN, but it just feels way too floaty for a platformer fighter like this to work.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077
How many of you motherfucker even knew this was a licensed game, maybe if you did you wouldn't have your expectations so unrealistically high.
Disney Infinity
Disney Infinity
The Pirates world was pretty cool but other than that this feels pretty bare bones compared to what Skylanders was doing.
Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters
Kinda wish I could like this as much as everyone else but I just don't like the Sega Genesis that much.
Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters
Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters
About as stander as licensed games come.
All it really does is ape on the "God of War-like" gameplay that was popular at the time and slaps the Green Lantern name on it. I guess it was playable but other than that it was just really unmemorable and dull.
Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure
Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure
It's about as middle of the road as modern-day licensed games come.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
It alright, it not subtle or nuanced, it tasteless and lukewarm.........naa that's being a bit too mean.
The truth is I did enjoy this game quite a bit, the combat is still pretty solid, the side missions feel less like filler and more like proper missions, everything with Kraven is fantastic, and side stuff with Peter's former villains are all really great and do a better job delivering the game's overall narrative themes better than the main story to an extent. I feel like the further we get into the story the worse it gets and the more rushed it feels. I genuinely believe if you gave the symbiote arc more time to breath, made Venom less of a one note villain, and actually found something for Miles to do in the main story besides getting over his anger towards Mr. Negative you could've had something really special on your hands, and I know that for a fact since Kraven is by far the best part of the game hands down, Insomniac did their homework and then some like holy shit.
All and all a perfectly serviceable sequel that I wished tried a little bit harder
(Wake me up when Arkane's Blade comes out in 4 years)
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
The Mcdonalds of video games, IE it's bland and boring as fuck but the only reason you eat it is because of the recognizable name.
Muppet RaceMania
Muppet RaceMania
Somehow has worse racing physics than Calvin Tucker's Redneck: Farm Animals Racing Tournament
Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game
Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game
I mean I got the game for free so I can't complain too much but it's still pretty eh.
Spider-Man
Spider-Man
Compared to other Spider-Men games this feels the most like a rushed tie-in game. Which I mean it is but other games have been able to hide it better than others.
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
it's pretty much just the same as the first only with less interesting levels and fewer of Spidey's rogues gallery.
Star Wars
Star Wars
While it's not really good I've played far worse in terms of licensed games on NES, plus there is some really good looking pixel art used in the game which is impressive given the whole "NES licensed games" conundrum.
Star Wars: Squadrons
Star Wars: Squadrons
It's the ship parts of Battlefront 2 but made into a whole game, never been a fan of the ship parts so shockingly not a huge fan of this either.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
It's about on par with episode 4 on NES, IE not great but has some really nice looking visuals for NES and especially for an NES licensed games.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
Inferior in pretty much every way, while it's still fun; I wouldn't say it's awful, but unlike the first game it gets old really fast and it's only 5 hours long so idk what the hell happened
The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King
The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King
This game ironically reflects modern-day Tim Burton very well, it's got style with some really nice visuals for GBA, and nothing else.
The Walking Dead: Michonne
The Walking Dead: Michonne
Don't really care all that much about this one, I was just really bored by it.
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Transformers: War for Cybertron
I find War for Cybertron really frustrating. On the one hand I think its visuals look really nice and stay pretty faithful to the G1 look while also still giving it their own unique spin on the characters on the other hand the typical 7th gen gray filter makes it hard to shoot enemies when they also blend into the background making the game more frustrating than challenging.
On one hand I think the run and gun play is fun and really refreshing when it came to other 7th gen cover based shooters that were never good like Uncharted 1 or GoW, on the other hand it still plays like a stiff 7th gen shooter and unlike other games it resembles like Vanquish it’s slow and sluggish with enemies that are just bullet spongy enough to feel annoying. Along with that the arena level layouts all just suck. They feel very much gated into one way of progression and with how easily you can die if you’re not always on your feet the gameplay gets boring really REALLY fast.
On one hand I think the story is really neat, being able to see the origins of character relationships and events unfolding that I’m assuming the G1 show had in it’s lore (I’ve never seen any piece of Transformers media I just think the robots look cool), on the other hand the game’s pacing is really shit and having the Decepticon campaign start off the game really didn’t help since the beginning of the game is really weak; it only started it get better with the Autobot campaign but by that point the game is almost over and idk if it’s just a me thing but I just wasn't grip by the story personally.
If you can’t tell, I'm not a Transformers fan and I don’t really have any attachment to these
Batman: Arkham Knight
Batman: Arkham Knight
As the ending to the Arkham series it's kinda shit. As a new game in the Arkham series, it's pretty ok.

No Clayface 7/10
Batman: Arkham VR
Batman: Arkham VR
One of the most boring VR games I've played. It has a fun novelty but it wears off very quickly.
Ben 10: Power Trip
Ben 10: Power Trip
A super empty open-world game that is somehow more empty than a Ubisoft game.
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
Pretty whatever short kid game, it looked pretty nice for a cheap digital game but that's about all I can really say about it.
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
A downgrade in almost every way. Its world and story feels less ambitious, its gameplay is more simplistic, the writing is dull, the AI for Oswald is awful almost making it mandatory to play with someone, and worst of all; it's just boring.
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse
The Chicken fight was pretty good but everything else was just kinda bland.
Grimace's Birthday
Grimace's Birthday
I got the Grimace's Birthday meal, My mcnuggets were hard; as if they were left out for 30 minutes before I got them, my fries were shockley soggy, and the purple shake did something to my stomach that only 20+ dollars of Taco Bell could possibly achieve.
So all and all...........a surprisingly good trip to McDonald's.
Hellboy: Web of Wyrd
Hellboy: Web of Wyrd
As someone who is a huge Hellboy fan (Mike Mignola being a horrible person aside) you couldn’t find someone more excited for this game than me. From the amazing looking shaders Upstream were using to replicate Mignola’s heavy shadows art style to the combat looking fun from the small bits I saw from gameplay videos it look to be the first Hellboy video game that was not only a faithful adaptation from the comics; but also a good game on top of that. Unfortunately that’s not what we got, what we got is a super mediocre roguelike that is so piss easy and repetitive it fails at the most basic approach of being a roguelike.
Hell's Kitchen: The Game
Hell's Kitchen: The Game
Cooking Mama if you have a degradation fetish.
J-Stars Victory Vs+
J-Stars Victory Vs+
Anime was a mistake.
LEGO Dimensions
LEGO Dimensions
Look it has Sonic in it so I'm not gonna complain.
Muppets Party Cruise
Muppets Party Cruise
Mario Party but boring and unfun.
Pocket Mortys
Pocket Mortys
When I was still in school I spent a lot of money on this game. One day my grandmother asked me what I was spending all of my money and not saving it, I then thought about it and I had to ask myself "is this really worth it", I then spent around 10 more dollars on this game and it continued like this for another 5 months until I got bored with the game and moved on to something else.
I deeply hate past STRM so much.
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
You're basic Wii shovelware slock, I'm still baffled at the mere existence of this as a game.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Modern-day South Park depresses the shit out of me man.
Spider-Man: Far From Home Virtual Reality
Spider-Man: Far From Home Virtual Reality
I mean it was free so it's not like complaining about how bare bones it is but it was still super bare bones.
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
Besides having the novelty of playing as Spidy's rouges gallery it's a super mindless beat-em-up with very little replay value.
Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars Battlefront
A third-person/first-person shooter made for people who don't like shooters.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
It's pretty much what you'd expect from an NES version of an arcade game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Missions
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Missions
Slow and boring, just the way I hate em.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled
Took all the charm away for the original and now we're left with a really mediocre beat him up.
The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
I spent the very little time I have left on this earth playing this game.

Idk why I did this but oh well
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
It’s shovelware in its least interesting form.
Transformers: The Game
Transformers: The Game
This game captured the movie in the best way possible, destroying stuff looks fun……………that’s it.
Up
Up
UP yours John Lasseter.
Yo! Noid
Yo! Noid
Where's my money Dominos?
Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know!
Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I Don't Know!
It’s pretty amazing that even after making a game that did a really job adapting the source material along with having most of the voice cast come back to reprise their roles, you somehow made a game that feels like it has nothing to do with Adventure Time outside of having the characters and some references.
Austin Powers: Oh, Behave!
Austin Powers: Oh, Behave!
I wanna find the weirdo at Rockstar who thought it would be a good idea to make a whole GBC game that's just a simulated Austin Powers desktop. Mostly so I can give them like a billion dollars and let their imagination run wild.
Austin Powers: Welcome to My Underground Lair!
Austin Powers: Welcome to My Underground Lair!
It's literally the same game as the Austin Power one but instead of it being Austin Power themed it's Dr. Evil themed, which makes it 10 times better by default.
Deadpool
Deadpool
The game that popularized the character and simultaneously ruined him at the same time. On top of that it's also repetitive as shit and super unfunny. Thanks I hate it.
Doctor Who and the Warlord
Doctor Who and the Warlord
A pretty basic text-based adventure game with little bits of Doctor Who charm sprinkled in.
Honestly the game is so basic I can't even come up with a witty joke for it.
Fester's Quest
Fester's Quest
Fester’s Quest is considered to be up there as one of the worse games the NES has to offer, with it’s god awful controls to it’s amazing β€œWhere the fuck do I go” level design, and it’s ever ending amount of enemies that will drain your heath in less then 2 hits. Now don’t get me wrong this is 100% a BAD GAME, but compared to other NES games I’ve played in the past this is far from the worst thing ever; and this game doesn't even come close to the likes of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or TMNT.
Futurama
Futurama
As someone who champions Futurama as β€œbetter than The Simpsons” this is the most disappointing I’ve felt in a good while. Now did I expect this game to be great, no; this was a game released less then a month after the show’s first cancellation and as a game itself it feels like a rushed job with the writers not really understanding what writing a video game is like. The cutscenes are really funny and are the highlight of the game but after their done you get to play one of the strangest 3D platformers I’ve ever played, this game is really hard for me to talk about all I can really say is it’s one of those play it for yourself type shitty games; where the controls are both slippery and stiff, and the jumping is both heavy and floaty while also being generally unresponsive.
If you for some reason actually wanna play this game just watch the cutscenes online, it’ll be a more fun experience then playing through this. (at least the Zoidberg Crash Hog riding rip-off level was decent)
Ghostbusters II
Ghostbusters II
idk about you but I think license games on NES just suck.
Gorillaz - Escape to Plastic Beach
Gorillaz - Escape to Plastic Beach
I remember playing this on my old iPod Touch when I was in middle during my huge Gorillaz phase. The copium I was taking just justified me even playing it was so strong; in retrospect I feel really sorry for 14 year old STRM.
Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy
It’s literally every single AAA open world β€œRPG” but this time it has an expensive license video games sheen.
Jim Henson's The Muppets
Jim Henson's The Muppets
From the same studio that made GTA 5, Bully, and RDR2. No I'm not joking look it up.
Kinect Star Wars
Kinect Star Wars
I think the idea is super cool, the only downside is that it's on the Xbox Kinect. You know, the thing that barely even worked most of the time.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War
Middle-earth: Shadow of War
Took all the interesting bits of the first game and just watered it down and made it boring.
My Friend Peppa Pig
My Friend Peppa Pig
I'm sure if I was a kid and also liked Peppa Pig I'd be going crazy for this game, but I'm a 21 year old adult and I don't think this game was made for me.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix
It's a super cheap feeling racing game, if I were a kid I'd probably liked it but still I feel like kids nowadays deserve better.
Sneak King
Sneak King
If I saw this man on the street and snuck up to me and gave me a sandwich I'd punch in the throat out of pure instinct.
Spider-Man: Edge of Time
Spider-Man: Edge of Time
From the same game director who would later on being us Mass Effect Andromeda gives us the most boring of the Activision, but still not the worst.
SpongeBob's Atlantis Squarepantis
SpongeBob's Atlantis Squarepantis
Pretty whatever compilation of minigames, pretty mid 4 but taking 1 point off for not having David Bowie.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman
SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman
That jellyfish fields theme has hunted my childhood, and it's still there taunting me.
Spy Muppets: License to Croak
Spy Muppets: License to Croak
I've played better shitty minigame collections.
Star Wars
Star Wars
Pretty much worse in every way compared to the American NES version, but it does have some weird Japanese jank that can make it funny at times.
Star Wars Battlefront II
Star Wars Battlefront II
Yeah no thank you this fucking sucks.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan
Platinum what the fuck I thought you were better than this.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
It's a fighting game on NES I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't shit.
The Amazing Spider-Man
The Amazing Spider-Man
Slightly better than the movie but not by much.
The Grinch
The Grinch
It's not as bad as people have said but it's still pretty bad.
The Itchy & Scratchy Game
The Itchy & Scratchy Game
They took the literal concept of the game and slapped it onto a SNES cartridge.
All you do is fight Scratchy with really bad hit detection while dealing with bad platforming until you hit him enough to where you fight him in a boss fight.

Honestly I would've liked it if they had gotten more creative with the concept but this was a cash-in so it's not like it mattered all that much to the devs.
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
I expected worse from you The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.
The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare
The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare
On paper, this could have been a fun game but in execution it's super janky and bad. Really the most memorable thing about this game is that one time Doug Walker played it and got shit for being bad at a bad game.
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
Not only did it really derail the story and characters they were working with, but it also shows off the depressing decline of quality Telltale was going through at the time.
Watchmen: The End Is Nigh
Watchmen: The End Is Nigh
I mean it's still not the worst bastardization I've seen for this series, Doomsday Clock still exist.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
A Nightmare on Elm Street
actually broken to the point where I couldn't finish the game.
Barbie: Game Girl
Barbie: Game Girl
It's a pretty mediocre GB platformer. Barbies hitbox is way too big and the game is too floaty.
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
look son I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed that's all.
Ben 10
Ben 10
I acually honest to god finished this game in less than 30 minutes and I wasn't even trying that much.
Celebrity Deathmatch
Celebrity Deathmatch
RIP Jerry Springer, you were too wild for this world.
Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues
Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues
I don't give a shit about this show so I don't even know why I played it, but needles to say it was still really bad.
Coke Wins
Coke Wins
This is a declaration of war to all Pepsi drinkers, the Coke Army thinks we’re weak but we will not take this atrocity lying down. I will take it upon myself to do the most righteous and forthcoming plan I’ve ever conceived. Breaking into people's houses at night and replacing all of their Coke with Pepsi by opening each individual can and bottle; dump it all out and replace it with Pepsi and then factory reseal them with Pepsi; that way they can finally realize the taste of pepsi and coke are so different that the label doesn't matter and they’ll go right into out pepsi loving arms. This normally will take a night (or two) but with the help of volunteers we can push back the influence of the Red Menace and make the world a peace loving Pepsi Utopia.

Doctor Who: The First Adventure
Doctor Who: The First Adventure
As a piece of Doctor Who media and the first ever Doctor Who video game, it has literally nothing to do with the show outside of the show's theme at the beginning and the Tardis showing up in 2 levels. It really does feel like the BBC just threw money at a slapped-together mess just to get people interested in the show again; so I guess it's a great meta-commentary on the state of the show in the early to mid-80s.
Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance
Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance
I haven't played a DnD session that didn't end in pure chaos, but at least I had fun in those game. There is very little fun here outside of the basic ass AAA live services crap.
Family Guy Video Game!
Family Guy Video Game!
About as fun to play as Fallout 4, IE not very fun.
Fight Club
Fight Club
This game is generally terrible but you can play as Fred Durst soooooo it's get's an extra star just for that addition.
Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th
My boy Jason deserves better than this.
Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters?
How about you go bust some bitches.
Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters
Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters
So now you've taken this 2D fighter/platformer and you've turned it into a top-down military strategy RPG with a slot machine instead of normal attacks, and it's really confusing and convoluted. Like I tracked the manual for this game down, and I still didn't understand how to play this game.
Hellboy: The Science of Evil
Hellboy: The Science of Evil
It has a bit of the feel the comics had, but literally everything else is pure bottom of the barrel tier smegma.
Hooters Road Trip
Hooters Road Trip
I don't think I've ever understood the point of hooters so I was kinda hoping this game would enlighten me on only men in their late 30s and early 40s seem to flock there in droves while objectifying the waitresses in the process.
I learned nothing and I'm still perplexed.
Jump Force
Jump Force
I don't even understand how this could have even turn out so awful. Like this is the Endgame of Anime games this should have been the best of the best how did this be so shitty.
Little Nicky
Little Nicky
If I had a nickle for every bad handheld that was a tie in for a former SNL star's mediocre comedy I'd have 2 nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.
Marvel's Avengers
Marvel's Avengers
The antithesis with everything wrong with modern AAA gaming.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
You had so much potential and squandered all of it, I'm so disappointed in you.
