Since not one video game has been made into a good movie I doubt any of these would either.

Far Cry 2 could be good, if they copied Blood Diamond.

chris_sc77 12-14-08 07:31 PM

Gun
Perfect Dark
Duke Nukem
Extermination

RichC2 12-14-08 09:22 PM

Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
Half-Life/Half-Life 2
BioShock
Gabriel Knight Sins of the Father / The Beast Within
King's Quest IV: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow
Laura Bow: Dagger of Amon Ra (mostly, I think a modern 1920s/30s style screwball murder mystery would be fun.)
Zork
Rise of the Dragon
Snatcher
Out of this World / Flashback
Metal Gear Solid
The 7th Guest (sure it'd be a generic haunted house flick, but you know what I haven't seen in a while? A well done generic haunted house flick with memorable music)
Fallout
Baldur's Gate (on second thought, after Dungeons and Dragons and Dungeon Siege, this would be a mistake).

This one holds great promise.

Abso-freakin'-lutely.
:up::up:

Exactly what I was coming in here to post -- along with seconding in-development projects Bioshock and, of course, Prince of Persia.

RichC2 12-14-08 09:29 PM

I agree, I would love to see an E.T. movie. I think a Goldeneye movie would be cool as well.

:up: :D Those two games had some of the best in-game storytelling to date.

The Goonies II
Bionic Commando
Contra
Bad Dudes

Wow, that one takes me back. I used to play it obsessively at the arcade as a kid. Do arcades even still exist?

We still have a couple local ones... and a Dave and Busters.

Not to mention some of the most tightly-crafted and entertaining dialogue I've ever seen in Sins of the Fathers -- all delivered from outstanding voice casting. I mean, Tim Curry, Mark Hamill, and Leah Remini? Just can't get any better than that all coming out of an atmospheric, Voodoo culture-bound point-and-click mystery. :up:

Man, they need to wrangle together a next-gen remake of that. I'm sure that trio would be game to reprise their roles, too. :drool:

A Max Payne movie done right would be awesome.

story 12-14-08 10:22 PM

A Boy and His Blob.
Smash T.V.
Shadowgate.

Surely one of the oddest video games of it's time. Didn't you feed the Blob licorice, and in response it would turn into a ladder, or something along those lines?

+1 for Minesweeper! (I was going to say Peter Jackson's PONG, but that would be kind of anti-climatic now.)

johnnyvid 12-15-08 02:33 AM

LOL Minesweeper

I'd like to see Metal Gear Solid for sure. Though the game feels like a long movie to me anyway.

DthRdrX 12-15-08 03:01 AM

Still Life by Microids Entertainment. One of my absolute favorites.

The game is practically a movie as is. Thank God the company is back together to make a sequel.
