sometimes simply watching the action
just isn’t enough welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
movies that would make great video games
ok kids know I know bad things do happen
tonight but we can afford protection so
will be fun just like always no worries
ok for this list we’re taking a look at
some of cinema’s most epic silver screen
releases that seriously need to have
video game adaptations in order to
qualify title must not already have a
video game tie-in or spin-off of any
sort no matter what the generation
Frankie I don’t wanna have to come back
for you number 10 the purge franchise
the premise behind these films silly as
it sounds is pretty straightforward
all crime including murder is legal for
one night in the United States
commencing at the siren any and all
crime including murder will be legal for
12 continuous hours with hardcore gamers
having a broad diversity of tastes the
possibilities for a plot like this are
nearly endless you just a gun you wanna
tell me what the hell we’re doing we’re
gonna fight one hypothetical the
developers can approach is a survival
horror fuel think the first Resident
Evil but instead of zombies
there are crazed citizens armed to the
teeth release the Beast boys let the
killing commence not action-packed
enough well how does taking it to the
streets with a sandbox game in the vein
of GTA sound regardless of the angle a
game adaptation is sure to attract inner
perjures from all over
number nine escaped from New York you
gonna kill me now snake I’m too tired
who doesn’t want to be a badass
especially if it’s a badass like Snake
Plissken
we’d make one hell of a team snake
the names Plissken brought to us by the
legendary filmmaker John Carpenter this
film contained a heart-racing story
featuring inmates of a prison converted
Manhattan Island abducting the president
about an hour ago smalls jet went down
inside New York City the president was
on board president wad that’s not funny
whiskey following the film’s
well-designed plot a game adaptation
would have players controlling snake in
a similar forced mission to rescue POTUS
within 24 hours listen listen what are
you doing I’m going in with guns blazing
and stealth elements easily foreseeable
for a story like this Plissken has the
potential to be a contender with genre
veterans like Sam Fisher and another
snake in particular there’s even room
for a series here taking snake to LA in
the sequel in better hope I don’t make
it back number 8 Pan’s Labyrinth set up
with the simple structures that had the
story’s protagonist completing a series
of dangerous and daring tasks we
wouldn’t be surprised if Guillermo del
Toro actually did visualize this
narrative as a videogame first ostiglia
at the autumn Laurel but if you live it
with six Oscar nominations under its
belt as well as three wins Pan’s
Labyrinth proved to be majestic in both
spectacle and story because it is filled
with dark visuals and an equally grim
plot this tale of a young girl’s escape
into a fantastical realm is vividly
reminiscent of American McGee’s Alice a
perfect point of reference for a video
game adaptation
you look at me fishes ready government
numbers having cube franchise it’s your
gift it’s not a gift it’s just a brain
fear paranoia suspicion and desperation
a fitting tagline to describe this
twisted trilogy of tension inducing
thrillers and more talking
no more guessin don’t even think about
nothing that’s not right and funny that
is the real challenge
you gotta save yourself from yourselves
as if the idea of being taken and held
against your will isn’t frightening
enough
imagine having to navigate a course of
cubic brooms filled with deadly booby
traps as your only means of escape those
traps
mean traps following the gory and
psychologically challenging tone of the
film’s a video game version of cube
would task players with the
straightforward mission of surviving
through trial and error style gameplay
are you doing it you’re pushing buttons
this means hours of disturbing deaths
and likely an M rating as we’ll see with
most of the titles on this list gosh it
moves quickly he’s just gone yeah well
maybe something made him gone maybe you
should come back
number 6 crank Jesus
see visualize this the setting los
angeles our character british and witty
the mission hunched down a gang that
betrayed you
sounds kind of vanilla huh well how
about we add a constant sense of
desperation by ways of a poison that
forces you to keep your characters
adrenaline pumping or else he dies I’m
dying I’ve been poisoned with some kind
of Chinese synthetic shit that’s right
now explosive and bullet riddling action
is no longer optional it’s downright
mandatory think of this as Grand Theft
Auto meets battlefields adrenaline
injection mechanic it’s sure to keep
your heart rate high til I’m done with
some kind the foot Canosa was that huh
number five the interstellar mankind
with boron Arthur’s never meant to die
here if there is one contemporary
filmmaker who knows how to balance style
and substance right it’s Christopher
Nolan any trick to this Doyle
no one knows in interstellar we follow a
group of scientists who are given access
to a new galaxy feel wormhole at a time
when Humanity is in need of a new
habitable planet as a roguelike and
space simulator experience a game
adaptation would probably look and feel
like subset games as FTL faster than
light
however developers can heighten mistakes
with time is of the essence subplots
forcing players to complete their
exploration in a hurry which could give
leeway from multiple game endings a
civilization that’s evolved past the
four dimensions we know number four edge
of tomorrow featuring a plot gimmick
with video games written all over it
edge of tomorrow Falls a demoted
military officer who continually wakes
up the day before his many different
deaths in an extraterrestrial war
perhaps greater secure how do I get rid
of this fast any Joe
and with what exactly winning the war
reminiscent of the time Luke found in
the Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask or
your standard quick save feature in most
games this reel ride of a movie is a
perfect fit for a video game adaptation
what day is it for you Judgment Day
sure gamers are being pushed to the edge
with shooters thanks to a particular
annualised franchise but for those
who’ve seen edge of tomorrow they’d
probably give it’s game adaptation or
run or a few hundred why does it matter
what happens to me I wish I didn’t know
you but ideal number three inception why
is it so important to drink
my dreams were still together on the off
chance that you haven’t experienced
inception yet the film takes you to a
world where corporate espionage means
directly infiltrating and navigating
someone’s mind using pre-constructed
dream spaces by taking over the creating
part now this is where I need you you
create the world of the dream we bring
the subject into that dream and they
fill it with their subconscious creating
an all-encompassing narrative the setup
established by writer director
Christopher Nolan has practically
written its own videogame companion
already maybe with a plot featuring idea
extraction jobs that lead up to the
film’s events
it’s called extraction suicide oh we can
train your subconscious to defend itself
from even the most skilled extract with
Warner Brothers major success on other
game licensed IPs especially the Batman
Arkham series there’s no reason to not
explore the endless dream worlds you’re
not real I’m a projection of your
subconscious number to Kill Bill
I am gonna kill
revenge is a dish best served cold a
statement beautifully illustrated in the
masterful two-parter from skilled
storyteller Quentin Tarantino featuring
a cast of colorful characters Kill Bill
falls the gory journey of an ex assassin
seeking revenge against her former
colleagues and employer after they
massacred her loved ones at her wedding
rehearsal well it’s you’re taking center
stage is a blonde beauty identified as
the bride aka the deadliest woman in the
world with a badass sword for a game
adaptation the obvious route would be a
hack and slash title in the vein of
Devil May Cry or No More Heroes there
would be a ton of melee combat and a ton
more blood you didn’t think it was gonna
be that easy did you you know for a
second there yeah I kind of did before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions you need to give
me what I need or this week will stay on
until they turn the power off for like a
payment on the bill where’s my daughter
number one Battle Royale
Janardhan on us all okay we’re not
calling Suzanne Collins a plagiarist
we’re just saying that this movie and
it’s 1999 novel seemed to have a few
parallels with the Hunger Games
dystopian society Battle Royale follows
a group of students sent to an isolated
island and forced to participate in a
last man or last woman standing skirmish
where this tale of T’s wasting teams
made into a video game it wouldn’t be
the biggest shocker to see it cause as
much controversy as the Japanese action
thriller did upon its release this but
still what a glorious game it would be
we could have a battle royale you agree
with our list which movie do you feel
needs to become a game play experience
is that an order from the president

best for the country for more exciting
top 10s published every day be sure to
