As a rule, movie tie-in games are pretty awful; Aliens: Colonial Marines, R.I.P.D., Star Trek - all are co-op, all based on movies and all pretty poor. They also happen to be coming on sale between 8-14th October over on XBLA. If you need proof that some movie games can be good Guardians of Middle Earth is also on offer.
Licensed games have a reputation for being rush-jobs that only a fan of the original property could like. Ben 10: Omniverse from Viscious Cycle and D3 Publisher does not break from that mold, but it still ends up being pretty fun regardless. Omniverse faithfully adapts the fourth and latest Ben 10 animated TV series in videogame form, featuring numerous transformations for the lead character and actual voice talent from the series. More importantly, it packs pretty good 2-player local co-op.
