How many video games have been turned into movies now?

[Conchaga]

I'm talking big-budget films, not those independent cartoons done for Halo geeks. Let's count, we've got

1. Hitman
2. Laura Croft: Tomb raider
3. Another Laura Croft movie
4. Prince of Persia
5. Doom
6. Street Fighter
7. Mortal Kombat
8. Another Mortal Kombat
9. Resident Evil
10. Another Resident Evil
11. And another Resident Evil
12. And another Resident Evil (releasing this year)
13. Bloodrayne

OK, that's all I can think of.

I'm just astonished at how far movies have come since they started making them based on video games. The Street Fighter and MK movies were terrible, but Hitman and some of the Resident Evil's are fun to watch.

Super Mario Brothers? Or was the movie first, in that case?

 

[Marquis De Sade]

14- Dungeon Siege
15- Silent Hill
16- Alone in the Dark
17- Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within

Wasn't Ultraviolet some kind of video game?

 

[Conchaga]

^ No, it was a take on a cult movie from the 1980's.

Super Mario Brothers? Or was the movie first, in that case?

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that one. Guess I had repressed the memory.

17- Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within

I don't know. That kinda falls under the category of cartoons. I'll let it pass because it was the first realistic CGI of the time. I still say it sucked balls.

 

[Tisiphone]

Does the Legend of Chung Li count? You could say it's a Street Fighter spinoff.

 

[Conchaga]

I'm looking for more big budget type movies. There's literally HUNDREDS of those kind of movies, Tis. Take Halo's new CGI bullshit for instance.

20 - Max Payne
21 - Far Cry (ok, so maybe that one isn't 'major', but still...)
