Expect another round of horrible game based movies.
Although hopefully they've learned their lesson from Mario Brothers, Doom, and Wing Commander. But knowing Hollywierd they haven't.
Well lets hope the M.P.A.A. doesnt sue people for playing Halo instead of going to the movies.
I WANNA KNOW WHY NO ONE HAS MADE A MOVIE BASED ON THE SANDMAN COMICS.THAT WOULD BE WAY COOL.TIM BURTON AND JOHNNY DEPP .....I CAN SEE IT NOW!
