Actually, often, they're not. Games have to have action sequences really often to keep players interested and thus plots, even if they seem to be pretty cool in the game, are normally quite threadbare, or they have a reasonable film plot stretched across 20 hours of gameplay and 50 massive gunfights.
Actually giving it some minor thought you are probably right.
Mostly because two thirds of the movie would be about some guy running around killing things and listening to some Irish guy without uttering so much as a grunt...Just because.
Then after t3h revelation said guy gets a motive, but still never utters so much as a peep.
Plus no actor can come off as awesome and manly as Andrew Ryan.

He made a rather constipated sound when he died, like he was having some kind of bowel problems
The first Bioshock game is nothing less than magical. 2 was a good follow-up, but it didn't even come close to capturing the magic of the first.
As far as a movie adaptation goes, I am all for it. With the right staff, it could be one of the best video game movies ever made, and we all know how VG movies are almost always destined for failure.
Well, the Resident Evil movies are awesome...
Anyway, Bioshock looks like it would be a great dark sci-fi/horror film.
I remember fighting BigDaddy's for the first time (before I knew, read, or heard about them.) It was thrilling and scary at the same time. I was like "OH SHIIIIIZ! WTF is that bumpity noise? Imma get rAAAAAped by the monsters!" That should work well when put into a film...I really faili to see how it would be hard to put a nice "first intro to a bigdaddy" scene into the film....but, I've been failed in the past on simple concepts. (See the Last Airbender, for a huge steamy pile of an example.)
Another game that would make a REALLY good movie is Prototype.

1. Absolutely. Different Strokes. I enjoy the crap out of them.
2. And it had a great back story, for sure. It was quite awesome. It was just poorly executed and the acting wasn't...very good. However, Prototype already has a perfect story to be directly adapted to a film, EXCELLENT voice acting. The story just needs to be condensed and great actors selected to fill the roles of the characters. It'd be really hard to mess it up, at that point, imo.

The first two RE's were good. The third one didn't feel so much like Resident Evil, so much as it felt like Doom.

Doom wasn't horrible, but they coulda done WAAAAAAY better with it. Bioshock kind of felt to me more like a silent hill kind of game just on a smaller creepiness scale mixed with Half Life 2. And i personally liked how Silent Hill turned out. Tho i heard a rumor that because of budget cuts they went with the barbed wire ending instead of having a bunch of Pyramid Heads barge into the church. But Bioshock has a good basis to make a creepy sci fi movie out of.

Yeah condensed and also changed since its hollywood.
True that Hollywood would change it, significantly, because their douchy like that. But it doesn't need to be changed. Even the portion where Alex absorbs Blackwatch militia and the US military people. That could work quite well to develop the plot. (They call this a "plot device", but in this instance, device is just a metaphor for the main character's ability to absorb peoples' memories, skills, and special abilities.)

I'm not sure what you mean about that Doom comment, but I thought the 3rd one was really good...the second best.
And, yeah, Doom wasn't bad, at all...I think I gave it a 6 out of 10.
Movie Stalled Over R-Rating
the hell??......😬
the movie doesn't need to have a R rating at all.
