I love that tetris is in the lead.
The only half way ok video game movie that wasnt complete trash was mortal kombat, they shouldnt make any more adaptations, just come up with some new ideas.
But if someone makes a decent video game movie, like spider man, then the video game movies will be whored out too.
Dragons Lair
Monkey Island

One of the inherit problems with video game translations are the video games are still not "mainstream" so you either alienate loyal fans or make for a very small target audience. It seems like they try to stradle the fence and the studios crotch (read bank account) pays the price. A good example is resident evil. I thought it was a decent movie, but it had nothing to do with the game either in story or feel, and it really didn't have much to draw nonfans into the theatres. But at least it was low budget so they didn't lose too much, i think.
I would love to see well done versions of a lot of games.

Medal of Honor
Though, some of the game is very similar to some of the concepts in Saving Private Ryan. I think Medal of Honor could focus more on just an individual - like Special Ops.

Why only Johnny-come-lately games? Where is your Yar's Revenge? Where is your River Raider? Your Coconuts? Your Wabbit? Your Dig-Dug?

I think GTA could be made into a movie, but not as a strictly action/adventure. I think there could be more of a psychological edge to it. The idea I thought of came from the GTA3 video game, which is presenting the main character as anti-hero and then turning him against the audience,
