What games deserve their own movies?

[RheynbowDash]

Wow. No one has said "Psychonauts" yet?

Mirrors edge IF they seriously amp up the story, I think it could have potential.

It doesn't deserve a movie as it is, but a few tweaks and it would merit a movie.

Well? I think Half-Life would actually translate pretty well to the big screen as would Zelda. Phoenix Wright would make a good animated show. Anyway, I know a lot of video game movies end up sucking but just pretend that that wasn't the case.

The April Fools Zelda Movie is the closest thing.

 

[JoeyTribbiani]

Once Upon A Time In America

I agree.


I think a Worms movie would be amzingly funny, but Conker's Bad fur Day would be plain awesome.

games being made into movies never work. resident evil extinction was ok but thats it

Silent Hill and both Final Fantasy films were good

final fantasy was cgi so i didnt count them. and i thought silent hill was boring and the original game had a better story.

by the way i like your avatar pic. very funny

Meh they're still based off games and they're considered good. Maybe thats good compared to other video game based films but oh well
Thank you, I think I will keep my avatar for the time I am on The Escapist because everyone seems to love it

 

[NeonZombie]

FALLOUT i'd go see it like 100 times

 

[Triple G]

Duke Nukem^^

Would be the best trash movie EVER made EVER.

No game deserves that terrible fate.

This. Forever and always this.

 

[Guestowel]

None

Fahrenheit and heavy rain.

Oh wait......

Ok, just cause and GTAIV would make GREAT movies.

 

[solidstatemind]

System Shock would be bad ass if done right. Only problem: nobody in Hollywood actually would do it right, so I'd rather not take the chance.

 

[AndyCobra]

Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed, definatly. Just don't let Uwe Boll make them!

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Well, I feel that only true masterpieces should be made into movies.

To this end, I suggest Shaq Fu. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

Does no one get it? Half Life 2 is its own movie. Its just that instead of mindlessly watching it, you play it instead. Making a movie of Half Life 2 would be awesome if done correctly but also a step back.

And can anyone actually name a properly good game to movie adaptation? Fan boys shut up now.

Mortal Kombat

Sorry but they deserve to be made by Uwe Boll.

Seconded and thirded, (my sous-chef and I are both hanging out here)!!!

Also, Bioshock would be pretty killer too. I know it's being mmade, but it's in a hold and has been for awhile, so I just hope it actually gets made.
