Final Fantasy X was practically movies by itself. Every two minutes, there's a cutscene. You spend as much time watching as you do playing.

It sucks when they take a movie and turn it into a game. I don't think there's ever been a good one of those, but then, I haven't played the Iron Man game yet.

Halo would be awesome if made into a movie but the storyline would be really tired and unoriginal.

Halo has a decent storyline, but knowing Hollywood it would get perverted into some god-awful Universal Soldier meets Starship Troopers garbage.

Yeah the Hollywood bit is kinda what I was referring to. but if you sit down and look at it - Halo's storyline actually isn't that original at all:

Sometime in the future, humans encounter weird technology out there along with a competing alien race. The humans and / or Earth is attacked by that alien race, and now its up to a small band of apparently-immortal superheroes to save the human race and beat up the aliens.

Uhh, how many movies have that general storyline? Like only 23,487,365 movies or something.

Just the way of the world, nowadays. Too much borrowing has created a world of sequels and clones. It's completely prevalent in the movie world, but also in the video game world and even in the pathetic mergers that are released of the two.

I like that bit though. It's so true, there's always complete domination by the "good guys" until one major "bad guy" lays waste to their band of heroes, then in his moment of victory he forgets how to fight or leaves some fundamental weakness wide open or whatever and they scrape their way to victory.

Postal looks like a total piece of crap, but if you're looking for originality in a video game adaptation you might want to check it out.

or they band of heroes finds some ten year old kid to hack into the alien computer system, which he does after only 30 seconds of looking at their alien file structure, and trasmit a computer virus, causing the aliens to implode.
