Top 8 Games That Should Go Hollywood

We're kicking this week off with another edition of our daily Top 8. Today, we're covering the Top 8 Games that deserve to go to Hollywood. While the list includes obvious favorites, Killzone 2, I'm hoping a couple of others are surprises to say the least. We'd love to hear what your favorite games you'd like to see turn into movies, but for now, we'll settle knowing just our own.
The list is included below.
1.Killzone 2:
We wanted to start our list off with the most obvious PlayStation 3 title deserves of the Hollywood treatment. Without a doubt, the story behind Killzone 2 would not only make for a great mindless summer blockbuster, but the setting and shear brute of the title is something that is sure to rake in millions. People love a great invasion story, but it's not too often you see Earth invading another planet determined to fight back. We're pretty sure that the guys casted for this movie would be some no-name beefcakes, but it's expected. We're just hoping they don't line up Gerard Butler for this one - we all saw how "Gamer" turned out.
2.Valkyria Chronicles:
This is without a doubt my favorite Sony exclusive of this generation. Though Final Fantasy fanboys may not like it, I also feel this is without a doubt, the greatest RPG experience I've ever had. Regardless of the fanboy love I have for this title, I think the actual story behind it is one worth telling in a live action environment. Roleplaying Games are, after all, often portrayed with the same dull 'boy saves girl' storyline, so it was a breath of fresh air to get a break away from that stereotype. I'm unsure of who would play Alicia, but it would definitely need to be someone who can act. A trout like Megan Fox just isn't going to cut it. While Alicia should look good, she needs to be able to act too...

Honestly the only games from the list I'd like to see movies of are Bioshock, Resistance, and maybe Heavenly Sword. I'm surprised they don't mention Uncharted as that would be an awesome movie! Also Mirror's Edge would be kind of cool...
If the list was mutliplatform I'd love to see anything from Blizzard make it's way into movie form. Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo.
