Spyro would most likely be a children's movie. Bioshock, Kane & Lynch and Warcraft (both) sounds fine, Mortal Kombat - is that a remake?, Tekken - is that a clone?, Halo - NO.

pffft A rich story to draw from.

I'm sure nearly all of these are only being considered or developed in a very broad sense.

I want a film of Bejeweled.

There is Tetris - The Movie

Lame but it is definitely there. Well, the trailer is.

Earthworm Jim could be good, after all, the cartoon series was quite fun.

Decent CG and a fun over the top completely not serious plot could do really well.

Metal Gear Solid was too convulted in the way it handed you information to really convey that in a film, although the boss fights and set pieces would make some awesome scenes.

MGS is practically a film anyway. I think I pressed two buttons between massive cut scenes before getting bored and turning off the last one.
