these intellectual properties are
potentially cinematic treasure troves
Pandora know you know why I’m here
you brought me here to do this welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for another top
ten video games that should have film
adaptations any time you want to take
some action shots were here for you max
for this list we’ll be looking at
another set of video games that we
believe would make the transition to
film with awesome results we’re
obviously ruling out franchises that
already have feature-length films and
seeing as this is our second list on the
topic make sure you also check out our
first list if your favorite video game
didn’t make it here but now I’m afraid
you have outlived your usefulness number
10
Castlevania series Hollywood has new
shortage of movies based around vampires
while there have been many incarnations
over the years perhaps they should take
a lesson from this highly successful
series and take the genre back to its
roots crush this flea who invades my
castle with decades of games to choose
from filmmakers would have quite a
selection on their hands from the
Belmonts quest to defeat the vampire
king to soma cruises personal struggle
to subdue his bloodsucker heritage
anyway all we really need is for them to
include a reference to this what is a
man a miserable little pile of secrets
number 9 God of War series the very
beings who forged the earth
raged out of control for an eternity
it’s a tried and proven method that when
you mix mythology with excessive amounts
of violence you can earn yourself a
household name
Kratos his tale of bloody vengeance
would be something of a spiritual
successor to 300 with the best parts of
Clash of the Titans added on which could
prove to be quite a juggling act as long
as the size and scope of the characters
are fully realized and our favorite
Spartan dispatches his enemies in the
most brutal ways possible van chances
are this could become a mythological
action blockbuster that will have
audiences cheering while also cringing
at how Poseidon gets the stuffing beaten
out of them number eight
XCOM to excitement continues to build
city centers across the globe prepare
for the 20th anniversary of unification
– turn-based tactics would normally be a
rather tricky subject to turn into a
cohesive cinematic narrative
luckily the XCOM franchise has
practically mapped out the makings for a
thrilling sci-fi action fest that in the
right hands could mix the original
splendor of Independence Day with a
darker undertone due to the series
latest entries plot hell are these
things they’re us least there used to be
having lost the battle with the alien
menace
the once formidable XCOM unit has become
a handful of resistance fighters forced
to launch guerrilla warfare on a now
totalitarian alien infested earth with a
plot like that there’s plenty of
potential to capture both high octane
thrills as well as an overwhelming sense
of dread truly humanity finally takes
its rightful place amongst the Stars
number seven commanded conquer Red Alert
series decent already it hasn’t been
tested we don’t even know if it works
if what works my time machine
this one is kind of an obvious choice
since the cutscenes and his real-time
strategy game already feature
live-action performances the premise
here is built on a singular theory
what if Albert Einstein traveled back in
time and killed Hitler
unimpeded by the Nazis the Soviet Union
becomes a massive superpower that soon
invades Europe forcing the nations of
the world to unite under the ultimate
Red Menace continue to do so and your
future is as bright as the star of the
Soviet Union
due to its unapologetic cheesiness this
could easily become a tongue-in-cheek
comedy that could poke fun at the
ridiculousness of it scenario but it
could also be a fun intersection of the
science fiction and war movie jars would
we be interested
affirmative general we need you to take
us the rest of the way next stop the
Kremlin number six Beyond Good and Evil
here on Hillis war has once again reared
its ugly head striking the civilian
population luckily our elite forces have
once again arrived in the nick of time
if guardians of the galaxy and serenity
taught us anything is that the world is
hungry for some fun colorful sci-fi that
still manages to present a legit threat
for audiences to invest in Jade and her
motley crew of alien palace fit right
into this category and as an
investigative reporter looking into a
galaxy-wide conspiracy they’re certainly
the makings of a gripping story here
considering how our protagonist is also
far from helpless and well-versed in
martial arts
adding well choreographed white teens
but also elevated from your average
spacefaring adventure not to mention
giving bands a new kick-ass heroine to
look up to thanks Jade
work for you I think that don’t mention
it you old fart
let’s get a move on I got a feeling the
best is to come number five Metal Gear
Solid series you weren’t going with me
as usual this is a one-man infiltration
mission weapons and equipment OSP yes
this is a top-secret black op there’s
never been a greater example in gaming
that’s managed to combine espionage
conspiracy and a whole lot of fields
more than this franchise granted due to
each of the game’s excessive amount of
exposition fitting a direct adaptation
of one of the games into a two-hour film
would kind of be out of the question
still there’s plenty of gaps in the
timeline that would be suitable for new
stories to fill in I haven’t seen you
since shadow Moses how long ten years
nine with an immersive historically
accurate backdrop accompanied by
antagonists with out-of-this-world
abilities a cinematic version of snake
and company’s tactical espionage
operations would be glorious Hey
number four life is strange and where is
here the beauty of this episodic tale of
growth and sacrifice wasn’t only due to
the protagonists ability to manipulate
time but from the trials and
tribulations she shared with her fellow
students on the cusp of adulthood max
Caulfield makes for an excellent heroine
that everyone can relate to on some
level painting a bleak but truthful
experience about the pressures of high
school I’m sick of you losers dragging
Chloe down Missy you sure do like to pop
up and start trouble throw in a
compelling murder mystery the dangerous
consequences of time travel as well as a
rather beautiful relationship with her
old friend Chloe and you have the
makings of a film that could not only
entertain but strike a powerful chord
with young adults okay so you’re not the
goddamn time master but you’re Maxine
Caulfield and you’re amazing number
three to the moon
with the creation of game engines like
RPG maker more and more people are
contributing to the indie game scene
raising the bar in quality storytelling
our pick of the litter has to go to this
deeply moving
and oddly profound hit
the plot follows two scientists as they
attempt to implant artificial memories
into the mind of a dying man so he can
live out his dream of heading to the
moon things don’t exactly go according
to plan and what follows is a journey
through a man’s less than cheery life
with the sci-fi element acting as a
catalyst to tell a story of unrequited
love the movie adaptation would be one
heck of a tearjerker number two
Dishonored tales of revenge never get
old especially when our protagonist is a
mask wielding assassin attempting to
bring down an entire corrupt
establishment armed to the teeth with
supernatural powers players were
immediately smitten due to this game’s
emphasis on stealth branching ways to
eliminate a target and it’s cool art
design taken right out of 19th century
artwork I must preserve a high overseer
for future generations of the faithful
to marvel at a cinematic version would
have to try to capture the city of
dunwall in all of its diseased and
steampunk glory while also capitalizing
on the opportunity to bring more depth
to Corvo and his personal demons over
his failure to protect the Empress if
done well
dishonored could truly be like a
blood-stained painting come to life fine
find Emily protect her you’re the only
one you’ll know what to do before we
reveal our top pick here a few honorable
mentions doctor
research hops aware of the car facility
that’s how will I recognize him
we don’t have an image record we
mine in the official files gave my girl
man it’s wrong
oh I got a someone you want me to fuck
you instead is that the problem here
Jason
fifty-four ships destroyed that’s it
how many of those ships were civilian
today civilians are tomorrow’s militia
sir what do you want me to do wait
several days ago the son simply came to
a stop in the sky though during these
long winter days none of us can be
certain how long it has been this way
number one
uncharted series but do you know why
they prevailed I’m sure you’re gonna
tell us because they had the will to do
what other men would not for our Naughty
Dog pick it was a tough choice between
Uncharted and the Last of Us but if it
stays true to the spirit of the original
game uncharted could easily become a new
generations Indiana Jones the challenges
of Nathan Drake are some of the most
interesting that we’ve seen from the
genre lately so we would love to see his
legendary outings given the Hollywood
treatment
of course none of it would meld together
unless they nailed the chemistry between
Drake the lovely Elena Fisher and the
hilarious Victor Sullivan if they can
get that down they’re practically
sitting on a gold mine or fortune well
of bidam what kind of scrunch Sully
we’re stealing remember only becomes one
bluff do you agree with our list I’m so
glad you asked that question what game
do you think should be made into a
feature film first of all I want to
congratulate you on such an important
victory be sure to check out our first
