    TGN's Top 10 Games That Need To Be Movies

    Ever since the ill-fated E.T. The Extra Terrestrial was launched on the Atari 2600, movie games have never been something to look forward to. Apart from Spider-Man and a few other comic book characters (Superman not included), these games are usually rushed out to meet the deadline of the movie itself, not accommodating the developers schedule, often resulting in very poor quality titles.
    While it is easy to blame movies for creating some gaming trash, we have never done the film industry any favors either. Abominations such as Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter, Bloodrayne and many, many others have been all been critical failures (I'm looking at you, Mr. Boll). We feel it's time we help directors out, so we have compiled a list of ten games we feel would be fit for cinemas worldwide.

    10. Grand Theft Auto IV
    Rockstar's crown jewel could wow Roger Ebert with its script and storyline. Mind-blowing action sequences, a diverse cast of characters, and an imaginative plot-line made for a very immersive experience. The world of Liberty City deserves to be re-created and re-told in New York. While it might seem like a stretch, Steven Spielberg has a high interest in gaming and would be able to make a spectacle out of this. Here's to hoping. Now, who could play Bernie?

    Yeah, those are good titles to make movies, but what hollywood and others for get is that when you are playing the game, YOU ARE IN THE GAME. You cant go to a movie and make a decision of its outcome, but you can in a game.

    That and hollywood thinks they can change the story more and it ends up making no sense.

      I think that Zelda trailer from IGN April Fool's joke a while back made me want a Zelda movie so bad...well that and the games are perfect for a movie. I would also add Warcraft to the list. I know they are in the process of making one unless it got canned.

        There is a distinct lack of half-life in there! Would be the most badass film ever if done right.

          GTA IV, Bf2142 should be down.

          Gta IV - I really don't want to watch some russian try to find a guy, by doing jobs. Not a movie, maybe a TV series. If you know that show Burn Notice, Its like GTA in a sense. A guy, does jobs to get money and get by to achieve something (finding who burnt him)

          BF2142- Cliche plot, and I don't see an ice age ending within 2 hours.

              Metal Gear Solid, as it pretty much already is a movie.

                  I find the lack of Half-Life disturbing (ohno)

                    Yeah I think MGS4 is enough of a movie for me haha, but it would be awesome to see a live-action Metal Gear movie.

                      I agree with all of them except the FPSs.

                        Seriously, Metal Gear Solid...

                        Where is it?


                        Also, if you want to see a LoZ movie go watch ''Legend''. Many say LoZ was based off that movie. And yes, i've watched it myself and the similarities are striking.

                            A 1-10 list written by thQp? Zelda = No.1 is expectable.

                              I bet myself $10 you'd say something, you never disappoint. Luckily for you, it wasn't solely my pick this time
