"which films/television programmes would make great game ideas?"

It seems as though games companys are buying up the rights to make more film/tv franchised games, as the film industry is also buying the rights to games to make films. There are many good films and television programes that may have been overlooked to turn into games or have not been suggested yet. My favourite for conversion are "seven days" a time travelling game to set right events that occur within the last seven days with missions like save the president from assasination. please add your own ideas.

hiyo!.....somthings bothering me and i was wondering if the anime Trigun was ever made into a game, either past or possibel future...anyone who knows a lot about jap games should be able to help me.....cheers! :-)

Following from the undoubted genius of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (It must have taken almost minutes to produce, yet sold shedloads for ages), it's clear to me that what's needed are more games based on tv gameshows. But not those prime-time, big money efforts. They're far too passe now. What I'm looking for is definitely the next step forward in computer games, imagine getting comfy on the sofa, , powering up your console/home computer of choice, turning the lights off and sitting down for an intense session of Ready, Steady, Cook. You get to choose one of eight celebrity chefs, each with their own annoying mannerisms, then you have to decide what to do with a list of randomly generated ingredients brought to you by a bored housewife. Will you fry those turnips? Or maybe mash them? Perhaps you'll gently combine them with some chocolate on a low heat, before making a roux, bringing it all together and flavouring with a touch of ground goat's gnads. Oooh the excitement. A Challenge mode could set you specific meals to cook, or perhaps give you unusual sets of ingredients ("In my shopping bag is 4 kilo's of spinach and a human head"), only by completing all of these will you be able to unlock various store cupboards, giving you access to more spices, utensils stupid hats. The final challenge will unlock the ultimate secret..........Fern Britten, instead of Ainsley Harriot, as host. Fantastic. A hideously expensive expansion pack will allow you to upgrade to Celebrity RSC, which is exactly the same, but with F-list celeb's each individually rendered and motion captured, including; Him off that soap, Her who was in that film, Him who used to be in Grange Hill and That one...oooh, you know...had blonde hair before, opened that supermarket down the road, you remember?

Whoops!!! I meant sequels of course!!

The Matrix would make an excellent game!!! It's supposed to be happening next year, apparently, and it should be amazing, being able to use the technology of 3/4 years ago, on the next-gen. consoles of tommorow should make one incredible action packed game!!! You could have the well-known, brilliant 'bullet-time' action seen in the film and Max Payne, along with loads of other great effects!!!!!

I also, don't think the forthcoming prequels are going to be as great as the origional.

The great escape:
plan your escape route and carry out the plan to try to get the maximum number of people out of the prison place. Take on different layouts and locations on different escape missions.

I dug this up from this topic:

Annoying celebrity hit list.

A 2-d fighting game.

Battle against the likes of Vannessa Feltz, Craig David, Frank Bruno, Harold Bishop (neighbours), lead singer out of the light house family etc etc (the list is endless)

You fight your way through all of these in order to defeat the master- H from steps.

The end sequence can be with all of their heads on sticks and the whole world rejoicing.

Thanks for you're support, but how on earth would you do this slyly?

Would make a fun game.

I think there is an Inspector gadget game on the gameboy.

The genius of a Baywatch game.
