I would say that the reverse is true. Look at Doom, Street Fighter and Double Dragon. Are they anything like the games? No! The plot doesn't match, key scenes from the games are missing... I think they need to make them MORE like games. It happened to Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider films as well... they make their own 'version' of the game's story but end up pleasing no-one!

But you can't make a game directly into a film because it would just be like watching someone play a game. The best videogame movie is Resident Evil: Degeneration because it slots nicely into the Resi' canon and you can tell it's part of that game series. It isn't boring and it isn't insanely different. It may not be an amazing movie in itself, but it's a prime example of a film based on a videogame.
