Eragon (video game)

Eragon spawned a game and a movie. Or more precisely, five different versions of the game: a third-person Action Adventure by Stormfront Studios (PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360), a Western RPG for the Game Boy Advance, a different Action Adventure for the Nintendo DS, an aerial combat game for the PlayStation Portable (the latter three developed by Amaze Entertainment) and a Mobile Phone Game by KAOLink.
