The discussion surrounding video game adaptations is one I tend to ignore wholesale. When it comes to video game adaptations, they're as polarizing as monster and horror films.

As a former participant and an observer of this argument, the biggest takeaway from the so-called conversation has been watching gamers spew pure hostility and perform bouts of immaturity.

Irksome fans who tend to lead the discussion with "in name only", "not a true [blank] film", and "not a true fan if [blank]" are the last people you want to listen to when approaching these films. If I could only recommend ten video game films to a stranger, these would be the films I'd choose.
