8 Movies That Would Make Great Video Games

Ever since comic books made the superhuman leap from page to screen, fans have turned their chants of “jump, jump, jump” to the world of video games. Long have gamers pondered—knuckles to chin—on which gaming properties would be best qualified for the transition. With this year’s promising releases of Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed, it seems their wishes could finally be answered.
