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.

Final Fight
Whereas the idea of a shirtless, mustachioed Mayor beating the crap out of his constituents in search of his kidnapped daughter might seem a little far-fetched, the political careers of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jessie “The Body” Ventura seem to indicate otherwise. Throw in some underground pit fighting and car smashing and you’ve got cinema gold.
