[ALVAREZ6]

Halo

[angrydude]

wing commander. Oh wait...

[cornbread]

Only one.


Contra.

[METALMiKE]

Left for Dead maybe? idk

[brettn]

In no order

1. Half-Life
2. Gears of War
3. Metal Gear Solid
4. Star Craft
5. Command and Conquer, the original game/storyline with Kane
6. Zelda

That's all I can think of for now I might add later.

[brettn]

Oh and the Max Payne story has alot of potential. If done right it could be really bad ass, but it's too bad it was butchered and unlikely to be remade any time soon.

[Phenomanul]

The Condemned....

DC Universe vs. Mortal Kombat.... (JK)

[mardigan]

Super Mario Brothers
Alone In The Dark
Double Dragon
Mortal Kombat
Max Payne
Street Fighter
Resident Evil
Hitman
Doom
Dead or Alive

[mardigan]

Also Shadow Of The Colossuss and God Of War.
And Mass Effect.

[Cry Havoc]

Final Fantasy VI - A GOOD movie, although Advent Children was cool.
Chrono Trigger
Resistance would make a sweet movie
Half Life (but only if it got the kind of reproduction treatment that Lord of the Rings received
Metroid
.... more as I think of them.

And I've LOVE to see a really fantastic reproduction of Battlestar Galactica (new series) as a game.

You mean FF VII? That would be a good movie, but it's hard to see them topping the story that's told through the game.

Super Mario Brothers
Alone In The Dark
Double Dragon
Mortal Kombat
Max Payne
Street Fighter
Resident Evil
Hitman
Doom
Dead or Alive

Haven't all of these already been made into crappy movies?

Double Dragon has all the potential to be a badass movie. Done right, with lots of violence, and no cast members from "Party of 5".

[balli]

If they were spectacular:
1. Zelda/OOT
2. Halo
3. Half Life (but it would be near impossible)
4. Elder Scrolls

If they were good:
4. Metal Gear Solid
5. Final Fantasy
6. Splinter Cell
7. Wolfenstein
8. Star Fox

If they were what they were:
9. Ninja Gaiden
10. Contra

[cornbread]

9. Ninja Gaiden

Tony Jaa as Ninja Gaiden. That would be some .

i think that was his point, even though Mortal Kombat was a good movie, it was its sequel that was garbage. The original did have one of the best movie theme songs ever.

I couldnt think of a worse movie, so I had to throw that in. And right after, it hit me, Tomb Raider.

My bad Mardigan.

No doubt about the theme song from Mortal Kombat. To this day it inspires many young kids with mullets to perform musical katas with nunchucks on that Paul Mitc karate compe ion on ESPN2.

Tony Jaa as Ninja Gaiden. That would be some .

That would be sick. I have no idea if he's been in anything since The Protector, but he needs to headline in a major American action flick. Dude's unreal.

[balli]

Half Life (but only if it got the kind of reproduction treatment that Lord of the Rings received.

I think as far as scale and story goes, Half Life could be incredible. Amazing actually. The problem with turning it into a film is the conflict with the whole mystique that Valve's gone to great lengths to create, in which we the player never see nor hear from Gordon Freeman. Ever.

Do they just abandon that central theme of the series in order to make a would-be great movie?

And if they didn't and they filmed it Blair Witch style with the audience as a silent Gordon Freeman, could it be successful? All I know is it would take an incredible acting job out of whoever played Alyx... and probably the best directing job we've seen in a decade.

Somewhat of a weak premise, the artistic success rate of video game movies is like 0.003%. And the hordes of failures makes me scared to list my favorites, because they might actually get made.

But if it were properly done, Final Fantasy VII would be number 1 for sure.

It also contained one of the greatest electronic songs of all human history, Orbital's Halcyon+on+on, which was also featured in the movie Hackers.

[Wild Cobra]

Jax and Daxter

I think it would make for a fun movie.

Well if you're gonna go for that, what about Ratchet and Clank? Chode Regulator and Mookie used to jack off to that game.
