Robert Workman (Modojo): To tie in with the release of Columbia Pictures' forthcoming reboot film, Glu Games has released RoboCop, a third-person arcade-style shooter where you guide the revamped cybernetic soldier through various dangerous scenarios. These include gunning for renegade soldiers and robots, and eventually brushing robotic elbows with tougher enemies, including the iconic and vicious ED-209.
RoboCop didn't have too many good video games -- but there are three standouts that are worth playing in time for his 30th anniversary. Here are WWG's top recommendations.
Personally love both arcade RoboCop's, love DATA EAST they certainly made some classic coin ops:) luckily I have em all on my custom PC Arcade setup.
Carl Williams writes, "Historically, movie licensed games or games created to celebrate a movie, have sucked worse than many of the original titles on any given platform. With the popularity of Android as a gaming platform, games have come fast and heavy including those that carry the license of a major movie. As usual, some suck, some don’t and a few are better than anyone would have given them a chance to be. Here are five of the better ones that Android gamers can grab, for free if you avoid In App Purchases on your Android device right now."

Nine Over Ten 9/10 has put up a review and hands-on gameplay video of RoboCop, a iOS game tie-in to the 2014 movie reboot of the decades of franchise. The game is an on-rails shooter ala House of the Dead and players will control RoboCop through various simulated levels.
