<\/figure>\n

While games involving puzzles and mysteries can be challenging and fun, action games are by far the most exciting<\/a>. Punching bad guys and getting into high-speed pursuits and blowing stuff up are all the things that video games were invented for. Action games adapted from action movies have given gamers the chance to play as such iconic heroes as James Bond and Jason Bourne.<\/p>\n

There have been some terrific games based on action movies, from GoldenEye 007<\/em> to John Wick Hex<\/em>, but there are also plenty of action movies that haven\u2019t been adapted into games that could be perfect for the medium.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Dredd<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There have been a few video games based on the iconic 2000 A.D.<\/em> character Judge Dredd, but the most recent one was released in 2003, long before Karl Urban played the definitive on-screen incarnation of the character in 2012\u2019s woefully underrated Dredd<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Judges Dredd and Anderson\u2019s infiltration of a high-rise controlled by a drug lord filled the movie with wall-to-wall action, which would serve a video game adaptation well.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Baby Driver<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Edgar Wright\u2019s Baby Driver<\/em> already has the feel of a video game. The way the camera follows Baby\u2019s car around during the vehicular pursuits recalls every classic driving game, while the gunfights and third-act foot chase would diversify the action.<\/p>\n

A getaway driver who drives to the rhythm of pop music would make a great game protagonists, because the gameplay would be a barrel of fun and the soundtrack could be filled with licensed hits like the movie.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Hard Boiled<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

From the opening teahouse shootout to the final maternity ward showdown, Hard Boiled<\/em> is arguably the peak of John Woo\u2019s \u201cgun fu\u201d subgenre of action cinema. It\u2019s primed to be adapted into a shoot-\u2018em-up video game.<\/p>\n

Badass cop Tequila Yuen, played by the legendary Chow Yun-fat in the movie, would make an awesome playable character for an action-adventure game.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>L\u00e9on: The Professional<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Whether the playable protagonist is the titular hitman or his 12-year-old prot\u00e9g\u00e9, a video game adaptation of L\u00e9on: The Professional<\/em> could be incredible. It could be like a Hitman<\/em> game with a Last of Us<\/em> dynamic at its heart.<\/p>\n

The villainous DEA agent Norman Stansfield, played brilliantly by Gary Oldman (who could reprise the role in game form), is an iconic bad guy who would translate beautifully to a game\u2019s narrative.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Battle Royale<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Kinji Fukasaku\u2019s Battle Royale<\/em> has spawned a genre of video games \u2013 it\u2019s the namesake of \u201cbattle royale\u201d games<\/a> \u2013 but not an actual video game adaptation.<\/p>\n

The premise of a bunch of junior high schoolers being forced to fight to the death by a totalitarian government made for one of the greatest action movies of the 21st century. It\u2019s also a perfect premise for a high-stakes action game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Brawl In Cell Block 99<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

S. Craig Zahler\u2019s ultraviolent gem Brawl in Cell Block 99<\/em> follows a delightfully simplistic plot with well-established stakes, which makes it ripe for a game adaptation. Vince Vaughn stars as an ex-convict who returns to crime when he can\u2019t find legitimate work and gets\u00a0handed\u00a0a jail sentence that\u2019ll cause him to miss the first few years of his baby\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

That seems to be the worst-case scenario before a crime boss threatens to kill the kid and its mother if he can\u2019t settle some scores for him on the inside. This involves getting transferred to a rival criminal\u2019s prison and fighting his way through various guards and inmates.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>The Dark Knight<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Christopher Nolan\u2019s gritty, grounded take on Batman has had a massive influence on modern blockbuster cinema. The Batman of the Arkham<\/em> games came close to capturing Nolan\u2019s Bat<\/a>, but still existed in the heightened comic book reality of the comics.<\/p>\n

It could be interesting to revisit the somewhat realistic version of the Caped Crusader from Nolan\u2019s acclaimed trilogy in video game form.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Enter The Dragon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Bruce Lee\u2019s final film, Enter the Dragon<\/em>, is also praised as one of his greatest works<\/a>. He stars as an undercover agent who infiltrates a drug lord\u2019s martial arts tournament on his private island.<\/p>\n

In a video game adaptation, players would have to enter the tournament and best a few opponents before breaking off and investigating the drug lord\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Seven Samurai<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the greatest and most groundbreaking action movies ever made, Seven Samurai<\/em> tells the story of a makeshift band of warriors who assemble to protect the innocent residents of a village from an impending attack by bandits. The formula has since been emulated by The Magnificent Seven<\/em>, Battle Across the Stars<\/em>, and countless others.<\/p>\n

With Ghost of Tsushima<\/em> reinvigorating interest in samurai culture<\/a> in the gaming community, it might be a good idea to revamp Akira Kurosawa\u2019s action-packed masterpiece as a video game.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Kill Bill<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Bride would make a heck of a playable character. Going through the plot of Quentin Tarantino\u2019s two-part action epic Kill Bill<\/em>, personally crossing the names off of the Bride\u2019s revenge list, would provide endless fun for gamers.<\/p>\n

From the opening suburban fight scene to the House of Blue Leaves showdown<\/a> to getting buried alive, there are plenty of scenes in Kill Bill<\/em> that would make captivating levels of a video game.<\/p>\n
