I was just wondering what films people thought would make the best games?
I thought Fight Club and XXX would make good games. Just wanted to know what people thought.

I havn't seen xXx but from what i hear it is a lot like a bond movie, so i guess another 007esque games title is what you are suggesting.

Since i have seen fight club, I am wondering what do you want the game to involve? the fist fights, or what maybe setting/type or game are you talking about?

In the Fighy Club game you would be able to do everything Brad Pitts character did. Shoot people, fist fighting planting bombs and so on.

xXx is out on the Gameboy Advance, and its a pretty poor "collect the keys to exit the level" type game.

The question reminds me of some awful game/movie tie-ins from the C64 era. Some were pretty horrendous..... Cobra, anyone?

Leon.
Obviously, that would be quite cool.

Enemy At The Gates.
A pure sniping game could be very good, if done right.
Imagine big drawn out multiplayer sniping duels.

Vampire Hunter Bloodlust. I think it'd make a really good action/RPG/beat 'em up type thang. Yeah.
Score one for the obscure refferencing otaku.

How about return to castle wolfenstein? simply due to the fact that there hasnt been a decent WW2 movie out for a while.

maybe they could take out the zombie stuff and make it into a DECENT WW2 movie!

Terry Pratchett would make a good game, although his stuff isn't out on film yet.

almost every game i know that was made from a movie turned out to be rank rotten as far as i can remember, apart from maybe the die hard trilogy, which was actually ok for the playstation. Apart from that cant really think of any.

I thought I posted this. Maybe I'm being delusional, again.

Grim Fandango. All in CG. Done by Tim Burton. I for one think it would be magical.

HEHEHE, I know of one but I wont mention it, damn plaugerists have destroyed my trust in ppl.

Fight club would be sorta ok, but could ware a little thin....
WE were soldier, that would make a great Game, non stop action, done in the same way as flash-point or BF1942.

Ronin also,
Hmmm, cant think..........
FFS, had a good few thought up but forgotten now, maybe later.

ahh, yes, speaking bout ronin, a movie that reminded me of that .
Boune Identity, would make for a classic sorta Metal Gear solid/Splinter Cell game. could be involved in the mad car chase also.

We were soldiers sucked balls JP.
I really like war flics, but this left me feeling "Why the fluck am I watching this?" the whole way through.
Thank christ it was a Divx. The only thing I regret besides actually watching that shíte was that I wasted a perfectly good cdr bringing it home.

Ronin would kick arse as an action/adventure game.

A good version of "behind enemy lines", except the pilot's russian stuck in Afghanistan.
BEL sucked balls too. A SAM is fired at an F/A-18, slides along side it, breaking off part of the right aileron and then proximity detonates when it comes round again!

Total bullshít.

The only good character was the merc sniper.
