see you say that, but i can only think of maybe two or three wrestlers who are big enough, because the characters in gears are so freakishly huge, so i'm not sure than any actor would be able to hit the gym hard enough to big enough in a reasonable amount of time

see i don't think the action would be any better or different to pretty much any other action film, and as you say they'd need to completly invent a story so i don't see how it would actually still be a COD or MW film, it would just be a army/action film and not actually be a film from a game

i'm not saying these would make good films but personally i'd like to see either the original leisure suit larry games or day of the tentacle made into a film, purely because i found them so funny when i played them when i was younger. i should also point out if you've only ever played the new leisure suit larry games then don't judge me as they're not ever a millionth as good as the original series was
