So with the deluge of sequels and crappy movies put out by Hollywood it just surprises me that some really outstanding games with great stories and characters haven't been made into a film yet.

Mass Effect - This should be a no-brainer. With the right people involved this could be an amazing sci-fi film with substance that could also appeal to the multiplex crowds.

Half Life - Read above.

Knights of the Old Republic - George should be working on getting this on film instead of wasting time with the tv live action series that is going nowhere.

There is a Mass effect movie announced already.

Along with a HALO movie.
I think MS is currently trying to build a movie studio (Microsoft Movie Studios)

I've said for years how I'd love to see KOTOR as a high quality movie. Great storyline.
The first Halo could be a good movie if they kept it gritty like the movie shorts they've put out.
An X universe movie would be cool as well.

Most of all I want Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and Rainbow Six, but of course that's not sci fi.

Oh, I found this in the forums on IMDB,

"Mass Effect is such an amazing story arc, it would make a fantastic movie franchise. Its extremely unfortunate that it is getting pigeon holed into an animated movie which will immediately shrink its potential audience to a mere fraction of what it could have otherwise been. Just really too bad. Especially since Hollywood isnt coming up with anything new on their own."


That would really suck if it is indeed an animated film and not live action.

I don't know, it says due out next year and if it's animated that won't happen. Not unless they've been working on it since shortly after the first came out.

How about a Crimson Skies movie. That'd be pretty darn excellent if you got the right actors and make it have the feel of Rocketeer or something like that.

What was the name of that scifi movie with Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow that came out a few years ago? That had a Crimson Skies look and feel to it.

I think that was Sky Captian future of tomorrow or something like that. I don't remember much about it though.
