This topic has probably been done loads of times before but I'm just interested to know.

Mario and the Street Fighter crew showed us how not to do it but which games would turn into decent films?

I think 'Fur Fighters' would be great! Toy Story humour and visuals , mixed with Matrix style gun fights! Good no?

Any suggestions?

Personally, I thought Tomb Raider was the best game-to-film conversion yet.

Metal Gear Solid could be an amazing near-future sci-fi action film, given the right FX.

Haven't seen Tomb Raider yet , MGS would be cool. Who do you think would play Snake?

Personally I'd like to see some good but little-known or unknown actors taking all of the roles to make it a completely new experience.

I haven't got a clue who'd play him! But I think the good but unknown idea is good.

A film with a large budget but small-time actors would leave plenty of cash for the FX - and something like Metal Gear Rex would need good CGI to bring to life in a realistic fashion.

Mind you, I wouldn't be disappointed if they were to do a complete CGI movie, as they have with Final Fantasy. Then they could use the same voice actors as they do for the game.
