Ok we know by now that games made into movies are uniformly terrible. Can you guys think of a game that should be made into a movie, and why would it be any good?

Solely to go against the Escapist userbase:

NOT Mass Effect
NOT Dead Space

The Exile/Avernum series have a pretty good story (most spiderweb stuff does).

I'd also like to see a Blade Kitten movie, but it'd be camper than Batman and Robin...which I also liked.

I would like to see a Metroid movie
opening scene-ship gets blasted during a space pirate raid. people fleeing all over. zoom in on little blonde girl crying as she sees both her parents die trying to protect her and get her to an escape pod, she makes it but her pod is hit by a piece of shrapnel from the destroyed vessel and is knocked off course to crashes on a nearby planet. after crawling from the crashed pod, she bursts into tears, nursing an injury, seemingly alone. then strange, slender, tall creatures (chozo) approach her; she attempts to crawl away but gives up and cowers before them until they gently (now fixed) reach down and hold out a friendly hand. she reaches and grasps the hand as the title flashes.
METROID
Edit: oh god I'm a moron; curse you spellcheck!!!!

You did this wrong. It should be "Games that should be made into movies BY A COMPETENT DIRECTOR.".

And I will also vote for Fallout.

I don't know if anyone else will agree, but I think Rule of Rose could have made a good film. Sure, the plot already resembles certain films like The Orphanage, but I think I see potential for a film that actually follows the plot of the video game.

pretty good if you haven't seen it.

OT: Metal Gear Solid, you would have to just remove the gameplay bits. (I mean that in a good way not in the usual snarky 'MGS has no gameplay' way)

I would like to see a Metal Gear Solid movie It doesn't have to be Live Action, The Movie should have the spirit of Resident Evil: Degeneration. So that it wouldn't feel so different, plus the Games already feel like movies, So it goes hand in hand.

Tetris: Sh*ts Going Down

What about a Prince of Persia movie I loved the game for its storyline and characters. There is no way they could fuck that... wait

OT:
I recently got into WoW and I found that the lore behind it is pretty interesting and I would like to see it on the big screen. Plus, it would help me figure out what the hell is going on half the time.

Don't you mean movies that have been made into games?
Prince of Persia, Street fighter, Mortal Kombat 1 and 2, Double Dragon, and (of coarse) the Super Mario Bros movie

And then there's the video game TV series conversions... (weeps uncontrollably)

Well nothing by Square Enix anymore, they lost their right to do anything after FF13. Umm... Fallout is a good choice, it has a good setting that doesn't require a lot of thinking (Which movie developers have problems with). Mass Effect does not need a movie, its games are the only things it needs, along with Dead Space. Dead Space 2 kinduv ended everything.

...

...

omfg...

Saints Row series. A comedy :p.
Borderlands would be interesting to watch, it has a lot of potential.
Gears of War maybe (Unless they tie everything up at 3, or maybe they make an *Origination Movie*?).
Assassins Creed Series (unless they tie everything up).

I'm literally looking at my shelf as im typing this lol. But they are good ideas :D
