My votes for games that should never be movies:
Pong,
Tetris,
and Street fighter again, wasn't killing Raul Julia enough?

Kane and lynch is seeing a sequal and a film, they better not screw up a great game.Hachura said:
I'm suspicious, they posted it April 1st and it comes out April 1st, am I the only one who thinks this might be a joke?knumpify said:
Edit: there's also no IMDb listing. thank god for pranks.
Also i think that making an Indigo Prophesy movie would be a bit redundant.
I can't recall ANY games that turned into good movies, I think I was about one of the 4 people who went to see HITMAN, I was being optimistic...ended up drowning my sorrows in the nearest pub.
That said, thank Jeebus they pulled the plug on the HALO movie.

Super Mario Brothers was awsome (shut up, it was)
Resident Evil series was great (third one wasnt as good as the first two, but still decent)
Hitman was surprisingly decent.
Everything else has been shit.
VG movies will get made, this is inevitable. I wish the people responsible for these decisions would look at the RE series of movies, and understand what made them do better than any other VG movie ever made. And while I think Hitman shows signs of learning from the success, the amount of movies currently in production seems to say that it was a fluke.
Although, a side note: Id rather have a hundred terrible VG movies, than for movie studios to keep raping my childhood memories with remakes of 80s cartoons.

Dude, I loved Super Mario Bros when I was a kid. It was nothing like the games or anything, but hey, thats what artistic license is all about, eh?StatikShock said:
A Zelda movie would probably be bad, but I'd be stoked if one came out that was done well. I dunno, it's so hard for filmmakers to make movies based on games that please the games fanbase, but I think every game has the potential to make a good movie if it's done properly.
god of war, f.e.a.r.(even though if done right it could be really scary...maybe or just another silent hill), i would say doom..but they did that and it was atrocious, halo..but they're doing that. basically any fps is grounds for a crap movie.
Am i the only one in the world who didn't think it was THAT bad, i'm serious, it gave me a few hours of mild enjoyment.AspenSubie said:
I don't know, I just couldn't get past the rock as the main character...there were so many better options.sirdanrhodes said:
Oh and I would say Street Fighter is a perfect example on how NOT to do it (I mean, Hawaiian E. Honda? Seriously??), but I've just found out that they're making ANOTHER one that will be centered around Chun-Li. What? No Raul Julia? No effin' deal!
