Good point you have there Al. A lot of people don't look in depth into things like that and that is a shame. After all its the stories of these games which counts ya know? I feel that is one of the most important things about certain games like Halo and others. Before you can make a great game you need to be able to write. And its the writeing that which makes the rest flow. For me I think of games as interactive stories. Its the story that counts and gives these games life. Not the gameplay. That is why many developers make these games like movies. Infact its one step below from actually makeing a motion picture. The process is very similar.
But your point is well put.
Another game that I think would make a great movie would have to be the Cantra series. Once again there is a good story surrounding that game aswell.
