There should be a Killzone movie, anyone who has played the games would know that it's perfect material for a film. Also, Bioshock, that would be a great movie.
What ultimately killed the Halo movie was money. “Microsoft’s unwillingness to reduce their deal killed the deal,” says Shapiro. “Their unwillingness to reduce their gross in the deal meant it got too top-heavy. That movie could have been Avatar.”
Blomkamp agrees: “One of the complicating factors with Halo was that Microsoft wasn’t the normal party that you’d go off and option the IP from and make your product. Because Microsoft is such an omnipresent, powerful corporation, they weren’t just going to sit back and not take a massive cut of the profits. When you have a corporation that potent and that large taking a percentage of the profits, then you’ve got Peter Jackson taking a percentage of the profits and you start adding all of that stuff up, mixed with the fact that you have two studios sharing the profits, suddenly the return on the investment starts to decline so that it becomes not worth making. Ultimately, that’s essentially what killed the film.”
Mainly because Microsoft owns the rights to the halo franchise, so unless they are willing to take a little less it will spin in circles and go nowhere.
Another good movie would be Gears of War, if they follow the books and start with the Pendulum wars and go forward.
Also, Bioshock, that would be a great movie.
I'd look into that if I were you
