Alex Rider: Stormbreaker is the name of two video games based on the 2006 film Stormbreaker , which in turn was an adaptation of the original 2000 novel. They were released in 2006, on 7 July in UK, and 25 September in the U.S. for Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance, [1] with the former platform itself prominently appearing in the film as part of a marketing deal with Nintendo.

Alex gains several gadgets over the course of the game, which are integral to mission completion. Also included is an array of minigames by weapon inventor Smithers.
