Movie like L4D? *chrchr*

The Crazies
Zombie (Dawn of the Dead)
Zombie 2 (Day of the Dead)
Dawn of the Dead (Zak Snyder Remake)
Land of the Dead
Diary of the Dead

But the "newer" zombies are faster and more agressive. 28 weeks later, Dead Set, Dawn of the dead Remake. I guess, the style will change withhin the next few days / films.
Darn it Spooky, I was gonna make that same post lol.

Anyone remember the Hitman movie? That was a shocker. And a Warcraft movie? Just watch LOTR or something, it'd be much better.

I'm guessing true to form they never make anything like it was in the book or game as a movie.

Bloodrayne (ffs) was dire but they had the balls to make a second (and yes I'm talking movies!)

I'm surprised Doom hasn't been mentioned but that was another good awful abomination. I'm at the unfortunate age where I'm finding myself saying "they don't make em like they use to!" more and more.. and it's just plain true. Whats the world coming to. <jeez>

lol. That's an Uwe Boll movie. That man has done sterling work in making sure the 'game to movie doesnt work' cliché holds water. House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Blood Rayne II and Postal...just look at their imdb ratings. He wanted to direct the WoW movie but Blizzard said nooo. He wanted to make a MGS movie but Kojima said noooo.
He got so pissed off with ppl slagging off his movies that he had an open invite boxing match for reviewers(he was an amateur boxer)

Just to happy you some more, he has a Bloodrayne III in production! (as well as Far Cry)

Ya, I don't think we will ever see a movie adaptation surpass the classic Pong:The Movie :x

btw, if you want to watch a decent game related movie, I heartily recommend The King of Kong. A documentary about two guys vying for the Donkey Kong world record. Nowhere near as crappy and boring as it sounds. It's actually really good

I remember seeing this thing Uwe Boll was targeting towards people who made Indiana Jones 4 saying Postal was gunna get more people watching it than indy 4, its really funny the fact Postal failed and no one really saw it. i think he also said people could see him fight Micheal Bay if they bought 10 tickets to see Postal.. YEAH RIGHT!!

LOL I remember as a kid reading some Mrs.Pacman Adventure books before I had ever laid eyes on a Pacman arcade game.
