Aside from the original Resident Evil movie they all suck.
I read that they're working on a Bioshock movie. It will suck too.

hollywood is out of ideas. Foreign filmmaking is still a bit fresh

Mortal Kombat was really good. Tomb Raider wasn't 'good' but it kept me engaged. Prince of Persia was halfway decent as well.
Generally speaking, it is a matter of funding. The ones that had real money behind them were decent films like 95% of the high budget stuff that gets made. Most of them have little money and Uwe Boll directing so you get what you put in to it.
I want to see more high budget game films just because the fanboy rage tickles me pink. Every time somebody throws out a tear filled rant about why Nathan Fillion IS Nathan Drake my day is made.

Lets not forget Womb Raider, Call of Booty, Princess of Persia, World of Whorecraft, Left 4 Head, Poke a Mom or Super Hornio Brothers.

It's a matter of structure. For the most part games are not structured like movies. Killing hundreds of thousands of monsters keeps you entertained in a video game because it's an interactive experience; you'd get bored very quickly watching Gordon Freeman bludgeon headcrabs in an hour-long cutscene. Writers have to find a way to merge the game into the typical screenplay structure, which more often than not results in a very bland and by-the-numbers adaptation.
Silent Hill turned out O.K., but that's because those games are more about atmosphere and story than gameplay.

Bioshock is one of those games that will probably work out better than a movie than it did as a game. Great setting, environment, atmosphere, freaky enemies, mystery, twists, turns, and very linear.
I found myself wanting to stop playing and just read about the story and ending on Wikipedia than actually riding the linear rails of this game. That should make for a great film.

I thought Bioshock had one of the best first hours of any game I have ever played. After three hours I was so bored I put the game away and never touched it again, but the atmosphere and setting were top notch; I can see a good movie coming out of that if they get the design right.
