Top 10 Games that Need to be Made into Movies
Let’s face the facts: there really hasn’t been a really good (let alone a great) movie based on a video game in, well, ever. That hasn’t deterred Hollywood from releasing films in the oft-maligned Games-to-Film genre, with Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and soon to be Prince of Persia, God of War and Bioshock all put up on the big screen. However, there is some hope for the genre yet, should film studios take notice and release a film based on a game with decent screen chops. Here are some games that I think would transfer over well to celluloid:

 

Ninja Gaiden
  • Ninja Gaiden
One of the first games to emphasize a storyline with engaging cutscenes, Ninja Gaiden’s thrilling story of Ryu Hayabusa investigating the murder of his father would be a lot of fun to watch.

Mass Effect
Bioware’s noirish and layered sci-fi opus would make for an exciting and atmospheric film.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
The gruff, seasoned super-spy would fit quite well in the movies, and films like The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games show that Clancy has the chops to make some compelling flicks.
