That trailer was AWESOME.
by awesome you mean super corny but still got you super excited for the 'movie'??
Well yes. It was VERY corny, but it was still enough to get me going "Holy crepes a LoZ movie!"

I'd like a Zelda movie, but I just can't imagine it live action without being terrible. Animated would look great, maybe something Disney-esque?

Its all terrible ideas. Why not say do something original like movie makers used? Just a thought.
some of the best movies were of course based off books...now that video games are reaching a level of epic storytelling, they might make a good movie if handled with care.

then again...they already use the visual storytelling in the game itself...so maybe we don't need all these game movies floating about

MGS needs to never be made into a movie. Who on earth could do an action movie based on a game that was Deconstructing American action movies? No one would get it. So no.

I wanna say BioShock, but the thing with the Big Twist was that the game took hours and hours (well... depending on your gaming speed, takes me about five hours personally) to get to the twist, but since a movie's so short, it may be too easy to catch the Arc Words, yanno? So it'd take some skill to do, but it'd be possible.

Hope they change the ending though.

I would like to see the Chzo Mythos be made into a movie series.

Come on, that would be awesome.

black, that was a hella realistic game for its time and it has some good cinematics as well.

agree on the doom point...what the hell was wrong with just plain demons?!?!
Because Hollywood looks at something and goes, "We can make this better!!" Of course, by the time it is done, it looks nothing like the original and it butchers your childhood...

I think Final Fantasy X would be good, or Final Fantasy XII
Final fantasy x was great.

Now lets see our choices, HL2 is basically a movie within it's self. Team fortress 2 sounds really good, shown by it's trailers. Call of jueraz looks good too.

Make some filler for between the cutscenes and the Xenosaga Trilogy would just be awesome. Speaking of awesome, before they make any more video game movies, I STILL WANT SUPER MARIO BROS 2! I've waited too long to see how Mario and Luigi help out Princess Daisy. You don't make a cliffhanger ending like that and not make a sequel!

That list to me seems more of a list of games that "would make cool movies". Which imo is something different from a game that *should* be a movie. Oregon Trail would probably make a good drama movie, yup. Max Payne *should* be a movie (a good one anyway).

That said, alongside Max Payne, I think the Tiberium dawn/sun/wars franchise would make for interesting (possibly dune-like) movies. Same goes for the Heroes of Might and Magic series, Assassin's Creed and Warcraft, though I guess the latter one's already being turned into a movie.

Ha what about a L4D movie??? Chris Tucker as Louis!!

I would actually like to see a Starfox movie though.

FURRIES...IN...SPAAAAACE!

-ahem- Back to the topic at hand. I heard a Gears movie was being made. If they could make it as epic as Epic did, I'd see it. Others that come to mind are Starcraft/Warcraft, Soul Calibur and GTA (even though the stories in those were never that amazing...)
