Every time I play a cool game I always think, "wow this would make a cool movie" There have been a few made so far, some pretty disappointing, like Doom. Didn’t really enjoy that. I always wanted to see Warcraft 3 made into a movie, but I guess it is pretty much LOTR, but would still be cool I reckon. I think I best would have to be Half Life, that I think could be made into such a sick movie especially if they stuck to the story and brought in all the cool crits in the game. I just bought Bioshock, haven’t played it yet but the story sounds insane, off the bat I can see that would make a cool movie. What others you guys reckon?

If they ever make a half life film I nominate Hugh Laurie for Grodon Freeman :D

There's so much games that will make great movies but Hollywood will always screw it up. It's a curse! not one of them were great mediocre at best.

@ the OP: they're already making a Bioshock movie. ;)

I'd love to see a Devil May Cry movie, intentionally cheesy with some John Woo-style action direction.

Splinter Cell would be cool (Bourne identity in a stealthy way)
Gears of war (The movie deal is already in progress)
as mentioned above bioshock would also make an impressive movie (Hope UWE Boll stays far away from it)

Solidus ! There is no Named Gordon Brown in HL ! Gordon Freeman is in HL

Nothing yet, until they get their CGI up to the same standard as computer games.

That is the only kind of movie version of a game I would like to see, how games look when they are played at the best visual level possible. Better than buying a 5000rand graphics card to play a game at the best detail and being bored with it after 2 weeks.

If the Japanese will make the movie... then a Starcraft Trilogy FTW!
If it's the Americans making the movie... um, we could probably trust them with The Sims?
