Vigster takes a look at the 10 worst video game movies of all time. Video games that come from movies  tend to be worse than movies that originate from books.

So here they are. List any more in the comments below if you can think of them.

10: Dungeon Siege: A Knights Tale

I admit that at first glance this seemed like a really good flick and with Jason Statham as our leading man it had a fighting chance, even with Uwe Boll as the director. The story starts off with our village man’s home being attacked and he decides to go fight against the tyranny. Somewhere down the road the story gets jumbled and loses its’ flavor as Leelee Sobieski has a very strange and unhealthy relationship with a dark wizard who is played by Ray Liotta. This fantasy adventure flick falls short of almost everything but ranks high on a B rated list.

9: Mortal Combat Annihilation

The first Mortal Combat was enjoyable even though it didn’t make movie of the year but its sequel proves to be a down right flop. This martial arts flick has terrible fight scenes and even worse computer generated effects. The re-casting was done terribly and well pretty much everything else too and if you’re going to make a Mortal Combat movie, you should have some well done fatalities in it.

8: Super Mario Bros

A picture speaks a thousand words and this one says it all. In the game Mario’s arch nemesis is part of a turtle race called Koopa. In the movie instead of that we get a whiny blonde with strange hair and Bowser’s lackeys make no sense at all with their shrunken heads. We can get the whole inter-dimensional aspect of this movie and even find humor in our plumber heroes but combined with bad acting and shrunken heads…it just doesn’t mix.

7: Wing Commander

You would think that the man behind the game would be able to re-create shi work into a great movie, but that’s not the case in Wing Commander. This low budget flick takes our Fred & Shaggie duo and gives them some horrible dialogue and cheesy special effects with a spaced out theme.

6: DOA: Dead or Alive

The best part of Dead or Alive is the babes. If you’re all about eye candy then this may be for you. Even though the actors might not have any type of skill, they at least look pretty. This movie is strictly for young teenage boys who get a kick out of bouncing girls.

5: Alone in the Dark

If Christian Slater planned on ruining his career, he picked the right role. This horror flick stays far from the game’s actual premise and hopes to gain success by having Tara Reid as Aline Cedrak, not even Stephen Dorff had a chance at making this film a hit. If the movie does seem to pop up on TV one night and you need a good laugh you may want to check out the sex scene between Slater & Reid, it might just be worth it.

4: House of the dead

If you ever choose to go to a rave make sure to check with your travel agent for zombies and all that is evil. This movie is the beginning of the video games and puts a few dumb college kids trying to survive the night in a house. There are zombies, blood and more bad acting but what else would you expect from Uwe Boll.

3: Double Dragon

This movie may have been a success if Alyssa Milano was not the worst version of herself, for such a pretty lady they made her look like a blonde boy with tie dye thigh highs. The villain played by Robert Patrick could be the most peculiar villain of all time and his powers prove to be the worst visual effects ever used in a video game movie.

2: Bloodrayne

There are simply not enough words to describe the tragedy that is Bloodrayne. I’m torn between the horrible acting and completely uninteresting plot. The upside is there are a lot of gory scenes, nudity and a guest appearance by Meat Loaf. Even though Kristianna Loken fills out the costume well, she can’t fill Rayne’s shoes.

1: Street Fighter

In the 1990’s we were all graced with this work of art. We can never get enough of Van Damme showing us how high he can kick or how many splits he can do. His portrayal of Guile is unconvincing and with him as the main character the movie had no option but to flop. This movie ranks number one because when it comes to Street fighter us fans want to see only one thing, Ryu throwing those Hadoukens and crushing people.
