Nobody loves you Dixon.

I would say Gears of War though. Epic story line, with some special effects that could be an awesome film.

mirrors edge would make a sweet movie if they stuck to the parkour delivery thing for a bit before jumping into the action.

There's no need to be like that, even if he should have used the search button. He should have, true, but you can at least add something useful to the discussion while you're here, instead of just being an arse.

OT, I think Bioshock would make an awesome movie (yes, I know that there is one in the pipeworks, just bear with me). Gears of War and Halo would be great, but of course Halo is still in development hell and I'm not sure what the status is for Gears. I'm also aware that Tim Burton is doing a film of Alice in Wonderland, which might end up being compared a lot (especially here) to American McGee's Alice. Incidentally, that would be pretty brilliant too...

I think World of Warcraft would make for an interesting movie, but it'd be hard as to make and fanboys would probably ***** too much about their favourite class/profession/race not getting enough air time compared to the other faction etc.

They could certainly put it into a trilogy or something like Lord of the Rings... something far too long and epic for anyone with an average attention span to sit through unfortunately.

Still... it'd make for a good concept.

Devil May Cry? Nah... Come to think of it, is there any way to make a hack and slash game into a good movie?

Personally, I think things like Halo and Half Life especially, would make better TV series. Any adaption to film, even in a 3 hour flick would miss out on vitals and on character development.

Bioshock, Which is infact being made am I right?

I think Grand Theft Auto could probably transfer well to the big screen, along with (old school retro) Beneath a Steel Sky.

FEAR could probably be made into a good movie. It's got about the right amount of plot (enough to keep a movie going for two hours, but not so much that it has to be rushed or cut) and would provide some very good action sequences.

The problem of turning something from a game into a movie is that a game is designed to last for long periods of time, while a movie tends to aim somewhere around the two hour mark, so any plot heavy game (which are the ones people would think of for movies) won't fit very well.

That being said, I think there's a lot of scope for movies telling new stories in game settings. I would love to see the Half Life universe expanded like this, maybe with something set during the 7 hour war. Or maybe something in the Fallout setting, just staying away from the actual plot of the games.

BioShock would make a great movie, the story line is great and just to see what they make of it would be good too.

God of war, assuming the director isn't shit and knows that GOW exists so men could bathe in their own testosterone.

I'm a massive fan of the Hitman games and was quite apprehensive about the movie adaptation. I actually thought they did a good job. Ticked all the right boxes in my book. The action movie fan in me would like to see an ultra-violent Final Fight movie. Then there can be sequels!

Metroid and (World of)Warcraft. The movie rights for them have already been sold.

Last I read about it, the Metroid movie rights were owned by John Woo and the Warcraft movie had a 2011 release date.

Doom...if it was made right this time. Also Legacy of Kain has a great story, but I doubt anyone would be able to make it right..
