Yep that's right, there's been scores of these starting up, but all have failed. Let's make this thread a place for PC gamers to chat. Post anything you like in here, comments, reviews, but no spam please.

OK, lets keep this going gamers. For beige box and country!!
Or something like that. :)

I enjoyed Final Fantasy but it did have nothing to do with the game and to some was a big dissapoinment. I was expecting something else but I did enjoy the film.

Sounds like it's going to be The Sims Movie(1 of 14): Big Brother to me. And I really really hate big brother.

I didn't really think much of Final Fantasy movie, it bared nothing in common with the game except it's name and story that was there was unoriginal sci-fi nonsense. Add to this a bland script and some of the most cold looking 'digital' actors I've ever seen and the film felt more like a chore to watch rather than a decent bit movie mindlessness. Some nice animations didn't really make up for the big boring parts the film had either.

True. On the other hand though,the Final fantasy Film was pretty good, seeing that it stemmed from a great game.

The Sims film will suck. Suck even more than the game, because it will be just watching nothing

The storyline would have the sim family do house chores and pee themselves all day, basically just stand around doing everyday things until the sequel arrives which introduces a new and exciting piece of furniture.

It'll get 50 academy awards, make millions at the box office and go on to make eight samey sequels which introduce a wide range of new objects the actors can interact with. Despite this however, it'll still be the most boring film franchise in the world.

But it would still make lots of money! So, Nicole Kidman as Mrs Sim and the evergreen Mel Gibson as Mr Sim. Kids would be McCaulay thingummybobs and the Girl who is a boy in the Krankies!
What do you think?

It's perhaps easy to miss games made by blizzard, they don't make quite as many games as other developers. Warcraft 3 and it's expansion Frozen Throne are the only recent releases they have out, with another game on the console on the way.

As for possible worst game to movie adaptation, it'd have to be the sims. Christ knows how hollywood would make this bore fest of a game into a movie, but if they did it'd probably go down in history as one of the dullest films ever made.
