I watch a lot of movies, and some of them are just screaming to be made into games. I am not talking about Toy Story 2 or How to Train your Dragon, but more along the lines of aliens living in townships with a huge weapons cache, travelling into people&#8217;s dreams and altering their thoughts, and Uma Thurman chopping people up with a katana.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The Blair Witch Project<\/h3>\n<p>We have already experienced games that look and feel like the Blair Witch project &#8211; Outlast, Slender, Daylight &#8211; but none of them were as terrifying as the movie. Running around a forest solving mysteries, video diaries that creep you out, and freaky enemies you won&#8217;t soon forget &#8211; make this game now!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a_Hw4bAUj8A?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">District 9<\/h3>\n<p>Our home-grown sci-fi adventure District 9 is ripe for a video game conversion. It has all the elements of a great game: guns, guns being shot, guns being shot by aliens, guns being shot by aliens at humans, and so much more. Watching bits of District 9 was like watching a great game trailer.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/82s9atP0teY?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Inception<\/h3>\n<p>Seeing as crime\/detective\/mystery games are making a comeback, Inception The Video Game would fit right into today&#8217;s crop of AAA titles. Picture mission-based gameplay, hand-to-hand combat, shoot-outs, car-chases, puzzle solving, the game would have it all. Basically, a better version of 007 Goldeneye.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/66TuSJo4dZM?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Sucker Punch<\/h3>\n<p>When I first saw Sucker Punch I thought it was a movie based on a game &#8211; a game I had missed out on. It&#8217;s epic fight scenes, vast array of weaponry, attractive cast (Ed&#8217;s note: smoking hot cast, damn), and great environments all came together perfectly in this production. Perhaps a Final Fantasy style RPG is in order, or a hack-n-slash third-person game.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c-bCGOthQ5k?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Kill Bill<\/h3>\n<p>Slicing through enemies and watching their blood pool at your feet &#8211; where do I sign up? Kill Bill would make the ultimate samurai-slicing title, the boss fights would be on a whole new level, and pulling an eye out of a screaming woman&#8217;s head would satisfy even the most hardcore gamers.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ot6C1ZKyiME?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Spirited Away<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best animated films out there at the moment, Spirited away would make a great RPG.
