Hugh Laurie as Gordon Freeman!!! That would be awesome! Although it would be a challenge to characterize a person who doesn't speak.soren7550 said:
A Castlevania movie would be great if they did it like Brotherhood Of The Wolf. You know, like a period piece.
Also, a Force Unleashed movie might be do-able, or a KOTOR movie even.
blatently Mass Effect, although if you play the story straight through without deviating it pretty much is a movie
i have a question, why have they not done a zelda film, i mean it has been round for years and hollywood has never through of doing one
None that I can think of, out of the box. There are some games you could develop into movies, but they'd need a real overhaul. What makes a good game storyline is different to what makes a good film storyline. A few games have a suitable storyline for a film, but none that I can think of have the character relationships needed to make a good film.
Half-Life does have one subtle relationship (for a game), but in film terms it's a bit flat. The story would need a lot of work. I actually think the original Half-Life would make a better film than any of the Half-Life 2 games, with a bit of spit and polish.
If I had to pick one game to develop into a film, I'd choose X-Com. I'd get James Cameron to direct it, based on his work on Aliens.

The green hat and fairy thing would come across a little silly on screen.dragonflygirl said:
I seriously think that, as unique as Half-Life is with its narrative, it could translate well in to a film. But only if it was done in a Danny Boyle-esque style.
Also, I'm really looking forward to the Warcraft movie.

The ads done leading up to Halo 3's release weren't half bad. I have no idea what they cost, though; that I believe was what canceled the live-action Halo movie (too expensive).dragonflygirl said:
They could probably pull it off using the CG that was done for the cutscenes in Halo Wars. Those were absolutely gorgeous.
There's a lot of room for a good story to be told in the Halo universe.
There was a Zelda TV series, started 1989(ish) and ended horribly quickly.
Deus Ex, first one.
Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption?
.....Playboy Mansion?
...........Sim Tower?

Might I point out, the games that have been made into movies, tend to do on the not so good side ref: Silent Hill, I mean, sure some games have good cinematics, but the reason we like games is because we play them. PLAY=GAME and WATCH=MOVIE, be careful about what you wish to combine...
If it were a good movie that did the games justice, I would say a Zelda game. ONLY if it was a stellar film that would do the games justice.
Heavenly Sword: you genuinely wouldn't have to change a thing.
Rather than being a "good", story the game simply has a plot that could be easily adapted into a movie while changing almost nothing. This means that rather than the "lost in translation", effect, taking general themes and characters from a game and using them for a vaguely related movie, you could actually follow the story and characterisation accurately while cutting out most of the fighting against rent-a-goons.

Bioshock is being made into a movie, though I believe production has currently been halted. I think it could be awesome, as long as they don't screw it up.
It seems like most movies based on games don't live up to expectations, though.

Man I think they should make a movie based on Shadow of the Collosus and then have it directed by a mastermind like...mhh.. let's say the guy from the Chun Li movie.
I can already smell the Oscar.
