Who saw Need for Speed: The Movie coming? Not us.
The film based on one of our favourite video games snuck up on us like a gift-filled Santa-ninja at Easter, a pleasant surprise. If Hollywood rumours are to be believed that won't be the last video game movie we'll soon be watching. Take a trip down memory lane with us and check out these crazy video games rumoured to be made into movies:
Resident Evil 6 [Warner / Village Roadshow] - Confirmed to happen.
