18 Unofficial Videogame Movie Remakes

The games that borrow liberally from the movies

Dead Space (2008)

The Videogame: In the year 2058, the USG Kelligan spaceship is called to investigate the distress signal of another ship on a mining mission. Jumps are in store as you board the craft and explore what's left, trying to uncover a government conspiracy while fending of attacks from the 'necromorphs'.

Sounds Like: Alien (1979). Sir Ridley's genre (and chest) buster is so clearly the inspiration behind the game and its claustrophobic corridors that it's a wonder he hasn't demanded royalties.

What's Better? You can't top the movie, but it's still a hell of game, and likely to have you playing with the lights on…

      Shadow of Rome would have been a better comparison for Gladiator. Similar story and just as good.

      Think how good the Riddick films would be if they filmed Butcher Bay and Assault on Dark Athena

      Just for the record, if they do make an Uncharted movie, then Nathan Fillion for Nathan Drake.

      @Ratter, completely agree with you there. But rumours around the web at the moment are suggesting that Mark Walberg is to play Drake. This is why video game to film adaptations are not working. Studios are not listening to fans, and the game studios are letting them get away with making s**te.
