Most action games dont have the large backstory like Halo. And name a good action game that was turned into a movie? I honestly cant think of any examples as I sit in class right now...
Tomb Raider? Or maybe you sort that to adventure? I look at it like a action/adventure game, and the movie contained Angelina Jolie in tight costumes and guns blazing, nothing more. And Doom? That movie is one of the worst piece of crap I' ve seen this year. Good in the beggining though.
Resident Evil? But those movies are good, exept the ending of the second one...
I' m certain I forgot some now.
