only halo would interest me but as we all know games dont make great movies. directors expect the name to sell tickets but that as we all know doesnt work.

btw i enjoyed doom movie not the greatest but worth a watch



I want wii fit and I want it now

Ninja Gaiden would make a great movie! As long as they dont get too stupid with the story and just focus on the fighting

4. The Sims - wtf? How can this be a movie? "No story, no main characters, and no marketing angle? "No problem!" proclaimed 20th Century Fox"



 Hmm they must have hired Uwe Boll to write, direct, and star in the movie.

I will definitely see Gears Of War and God Of War, and maybe Halo. I don't expect them to be good though.

Maybe they can combine the two films and call it, "Gears of God of War," or they can combine it with a third film and call it, "Gears of God of Warcraft."

Someone name one movie based off of a game that was actually good?

1. Tron
2. Mortal Kombat -- It was good if you like fighting movies. However, the story of the original MK is nearly identical to Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon, which is why I like it.
3. Resident Evil

I think that is about it, but here's three.


Have you ever seen Big Trouble in Little China?  Mortal Kombat was taken in part from that movie...they took Raiden from a character in the movie and a few of the things that the MK games always say.



Thanks to kenobi after I got him to ban my old account (dallas) after someone hacked into it and being ok with me coming back under a slightly different username.  I appreciate our communication in the PMs.  Also I want to give a big thank you to vgchartz for being one of the cooler websites around. 

Oh, and I'm still the next Michael Pachter

Big Trouble in Little China - a great film.
maybe a game could be made of this movie.

Which is worse:
games made into films?
or
Movies made into games?

Can't think of any games made from movies that was actually good.
