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:

 

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Say what you will about the gameplay, the story in TFU was arguably the best part of the game, and worth seeing the transition to celluloid.

Mega Man
  • Mega Man
Admit it, a live-action Mega Man featuring a cadre of themed enemies (a la The Running Man) would be pretty awesome.

Kingdom Hearts
A crossover film featuring Disney and Final Fantasy characters? Sign me up.
