Which game do you think could make a great movie, better than any of the other failures?  I think that HALO could make an awesome movie.
Neo-Terra Victorious

The Lightning Marshall

158th Banshee Squadron

(waits for Freespace!!!111oneoneone answer....)

Actually, i can;t think of any.  Mainly because a) all videogame movies turn out awful and b) game stories are largely dependent on the players interaction - and that can be hard to translte to a screenplay IMO.

Op Flashpoint might, might make a good film, at a pinch.

Halo. Or rather, one of the books.

Well back to my HALO thought.  Yes, I think a series based off the books would be pretty sweet, especially the Fall of Reach, I loved that book.

Ja, and First Strike as the sequel of course. Both of them felt very movie IMO.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

With Patrick Stewart as...someone.

How would DX work, though, Turnsky? They'd have to record multiple endings. :P

Actually, if you based it around when Ransom was alive and fighting in the war against the old guard, that would be cool ;)

And Patrick could be the General ;)

Starcraft could make a good movie, I think. Even if you chop away all the pretty graphics and good gameplay, there's still a pretty solid storyline behind it and the expansion that can hold it's own. Something like a hybrid between the original starwars trilogy and starship troopers I would imagine, only no Fuzzy Bears (which would be a good thing).

Pretty much any Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts adventure game would work, too. Well, maybe not Grim Fandango since it would be nigh impossible to make a world of nothing but skeletons seem plausible outside of cartoonish graphics, but the Monkey Island series (almost been done already, Pirates of the Carribean rips off these games in so many ways it's not funny... except it *was* funny and very enjoyable too :D) and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis would be good for action/comedy, and Full Throttle would own as a bit more serious movie. Too bad about Fandango though, since that's the best game of them all in my opinion.
