That would have been awesome but in a sense, original MOHs and CODs are Saving Private Ryan :)

Brothers in Arms games seriously reminds of SPR.

I think most of that list was weak... Sin City should be a game, if done properly with it's own new storyline, cause when games adapted from movies try to copy the same story it usually ends up lame.

I Am Legend would make a good game.

they should dab into some Studio Ghibli films, a game based on Spirited Away or Howls moving castle would be awesome, as would band of brothers, or I am legend, I think a SAW game would be insane, anything better than that Napoleon Dynamite psp game (shudder)

I'd add Shoot Em Up to that list.

Also, I'd kill for that Hellraiser game :)

Clive Owen is on the list though, so it's just a FAIL.

At first I thought it would suck. But after seeing it is a great movie. Could possible be a great game aswell.

I just can't make myself watch the movie. I've seen the awful original B-scifimovie that this remake is stolen from and if the script is anything close to the original then I just have to pass.

The film was amazing. Especially the scene where the camera doesn't cut away as he's making his way through the war zone. I felt like I was right there with him. Great cinematography.

@5.3

Totally agree. That whole scene was nothing short of amazing. Children of Men is one of my favorite films but I don't think it would make a good video game. Now Spaceballs, that should totally be a video game. :)

I disagree with your assessment. Partly because most movies that are released today are far better than the old ones that came out of yesteryear. You maybe seeing a lot of "crap" coming out of Hollywood, which it could be, but you forget they're are tons of films released every week. More so than any other year before it. On top of that, just because something doesn't look good to you doesn't mean its the same for everyone else. I loved Horton Hears a Who. I'm sure some of you avoided it because of how it seemed like it was just for kids, but you would be wrong. It's a great movie; for all ages. And from what I hear, Kung Fu Panda looks to be just as enticing.

I don't know where you have been, but amazing movies have been coming out often. This year for instance, we got Cloverfield, The Bank Job, Horton Hears a Who, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Iron Man, Prince Caspian, and Son of Rambow. That's just a short list of the favorites for this year. This excludes your interests. If you like to see quality films, here's your chance. Most people would probably foam at the mouth if they saw this kind of line-up. This is excellent for just the beginning of the year. Then you have The Incredible Hulk, The Dark Knight, Wall-E, Wanted, Bangkok Dangerous to keep your eye on for the rest of the summer. I'm probably skipping quite a few too. If you're saying this is all downhill, you're nuts. I debate whether we'll see another summer this good ever again, and it's not even done.

I thought last year was too good to be true (No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Juno, Gone Baby Gone, The Assassination of Jesse James, Michael Clayton, Zodiac... the list goes on). It seems, though, that unlike any year before it, 2008 will finally push us past the breaking point. Too many good movies. I predict that by the end of the year, you will see various factions who claim the movie they support should be Best Picture. I predict there to be huge and numerous arguments. After all, the competition for the award is going to be unimaginable.

Here's a sneak peek at all the awesome that will assault your senses: Burn After Reading (A dark comedy by the Coen brothers with an incredible ensemble cast: Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, and John Malkovich. Two gym employees find a CD filled with CIA secrets; they attempt to bargain with its owner to make some money off it. Even willing to sell the CD to other world powers and criminals who hate the CIA), Defiance (From the director of Blood Diamond, three Polish brothers set out to strike back at the Nazi regime by training soldiers they rescue while hiding out in a forest; based on a true story: Daniel Craig, Liev Schrieber, and Jamie Bell), Revolutionary Road (Sam Mendes returns with the famous couple who put Titanic on the spot: Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Cinematography by the one and only Roger Deakins.), Doubt (Based off the play, Meryl Streep plays Sister Aloysius who discovers a fellow priest abusing a black student. Also stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Ryan), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett put on a movie to remember. Based on a short story about a couple that grows father apart as time goes by. One grows younger while the other grows older. Oh yeah, David Fincher returns!), The Exchange (Clint Eastwood is at it again but in a period piece that has already won over many critic's hearts. Angelina Jolie is a mother who's child has gone missing. The movie sets out to tackle the trust issue; even in regards to law figures and authorities), Australia (Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman star in Baz Luhrmann's epic. After securing a ranch, Kidman seeks someone to protect it, Hugh Jackman. Together they try to unfoil a plot and witness the Japanese bombing of Darwin, Austrailia), House of Lies (Directed by Ridley Scott, Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe: a former journalist/soldier is hired by the CIA to track down a member from Al-Qaeda in Jordan), and more...

So... those are just the ones off the top of my head. Still think Hollywood is in a drought? Hook is nothing compared to the forces of cinema that will make itself known. Just give it a chance. Many people like to complain about Hollywood, but usually its because they don't know what they are talking about and it is cool to hate what's popular. I just got into cinema myself because I find it more intriguing than it ever was. And filmmakers from Hollywood, and its actors, had more than an influence on that. Try out some of these movies I mentioned and you may take back what you said. ;)

to be honest the only game i can think of that was based partly on a movie that turned out pretty good was the chronicles of riddick escape from butcher bay. that game was and still is pretty good.

For the most part I agree with you. But hey, Iron Man was not that bad a game. I enjoyed the demo... is the game so very bad compared to it that people would so often say it blows?

I can't see it. Now Riddick... that has got to be the best Movie to Game I have ever experienced. Can't wait for the next.

They should get the same people that did Riddick and make a version of Pitch Black!!!

An obscure russian game developer made a fairly solid game based off Vassili Zeitsevs story a few years back, but I think it was only on PC.

Well, as a bit of a literary buff I can't help but argue (even though my sarcasm detector went off) but there was not one goverment in 1984 but three (although they could have been working together) But the idea of starting a revolution in a totalitarian state is a cool idea. Oh and btw Fahrenheit 451 > 1984
