But here's an idea that might work, and also would be intriguing for intro and ending a la 'Children of Men':
Most video-games-to-movies wouldn't do so well, because they'd probably only go with popular video games, which would mean a lot of people would already know the plot and the major twists and what not. Unless they just took the canon and made a new plot around that, like they tend to do.
Armed and Dangerous was a really funny game, I want to see more of those cutscenes. It would make a really good animated movie, or series.
That game had so much potential, but I agree, if the movie was done right it would make an awesome comic/game movie.Kraj said:
I know its not a computer game but uts still a game...Gamesworkshop ages ago started releasing loads of books and short stires all about their sci-fi and fantasy realms and one awesome story was the story of the Tanith first and Only by Dan Abnett The Tanith first and only have no planet of origin and fight for the imperium of man in the Sabbat worlds Crusade...they are awesome books and I wanna see them put to the silver screen
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
I'm seriously surprised that no one actually mentioned this yet. Not only does it have a great imposing title, but what have you here. You got mad treasure hunter Russians and Ukrainians in a hell hole version of Chernobyl eventually discovering its darkest secrets and plenty of bloodsucker horror encounters to go with it.
Also, seeing a Zone Blowout (radiation storm) on the big screen will be the most amazing thing ever.

i was quite surprised at resident evil 3, a lot better than i thought it would be (that could just be my bias to any film with milla jovovich in it being awesome)
MGS as far as im aware is being made into a film.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R - yes i know its already a film based around the same thing, but wow, the original stalker is heavy (very hard to watch). But an action/thriller based around the stalker game would be great
Monkey island - would just rock (jim carrey = stan)
More or less any other Tim Schafer game (full throttle, day of the tentacle, Psychonauts)
sam and max Would make a great film, need to be CGI however
Bloody roar - not so much a film, but would make a great anime.
I would like to see a half life movie, but not sure how good it would be. What would be kind of cool is if it was all from 1st person perspective and CGI - so basically a big long ingame cutscene. I'd hapily watch 2 hours of that

Basically, I think game to movie transitions so far have seriously sucked because they have focused on games where they NEED to add plot in order to make a lengthy enough script that can actually be filmed, and these additions just break everything apart. Most games (especially FPS and RTS) don't even have a plot that can't be sumarized in one paragraph. That is not a good starting off point, especially since, as has been said, movies are a rather passive experience. I would nominate adventure games (monkey island, gabriel knight, grim fandango, longest journey, etc) as infinately more suitable material to make a movie of. Then again, a lot of people here probably don't play them or are unaware of their existance to consider them of having enough substance to take them to the mainstream.
I totally second a The Darkness movie, thatd be sick. I would say Mass Effect, but first of all Mass Effect really is like its own movie, and second of all Mass Effect's story is way to epic to fit into a movie. That is, without critics jumping down its throat for not having enough backstory or somehting like that.
World In Conflict could be a cool story about America getting invaded by Russia during the Cold War, but I think that movies alreayd been made (Red Dawn), though a WiC movie could offer a broader view of it.
A Silent Hunter-related movie (as in, US sub commanders during WW2), but it would probably get too boring.
