How are they planning on making Doom PG-13? That alone will be the downfall of that movie.

I knew of most of those.
But Soul Caliber,BloodRayne,and Prince of persia are the newest aditions.

But alot of those Game to Movies look like they will be good.

I know that Resident Evil:Apocolypsewill be really good since Resident Evil was good.

The Alone in the Dark movie better be scary as f*ck. That game had me and my 24 year old friend scared to death in mid daylight. We tried playing it a midnight with the lights off... that lasted 10 minutes. Something just plain freaky flashed on the screen and we balsted for the light switch. That game has scarred me for life.

Dead or Alive will be PG-13.

As for Live Action Pac-Man.They can always add CGI (who Framed Roger Rabit kind of thing)

But they should make Mature Games into R rated films.

The Pac-Man movie will be completly doomed if they don' t have CGI in it... it' s pretty much doomed to fail anyway, I' d say. I' d also say the reason they' re turning M rated games into PG-13 movies is to reach a wider audience (bigger audience = more money).

Soul Calibur could be a great movie if they have the right actors,Director,Writer.

Look at Mortal Kombat which was based on a fighting game and it was a good movie.

I say give the rights to a Asian director who is familiar with movies that involve fighting/special effects.
