10 Video Game Movies Coming Before Halo

I sure love the Kotaku website. I get my video game fix there each and every day. But frankly, they can stick it up their collective butts on their 10 Video Game Movies You’ll See Before Halo post. Some on the list will suck without question – see Sims, Asteroids and Duke Nukem, but there are three I’m completely sure could be pretty sweet, those being Gears of War, Bioshock and Deadspace, with a close fourth and fith to World

Blomkan’t Make Halo? BlomKAN Make District 9.
