Reader Discussion: Which 2014 Best Picture Nominated Film Would Make A Good Video Game?

by Kyle Hilliard on Feb 21, 2015 at 10:27 AM

The Oscars are tomorrow, and there are eight films up for picture of the year. Which one would make a good video game?

Here are the choices:

  • American Sniper
  • The Imitation Game
  • Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
  • Selma
  • The Theory of Everything
  • Boyhood
  • The Grand Budapest Hotel
  • Whiplash

Some options are more obvious than others, like The Imitation Game as a puzzle game, or Whiplash as a story-driven rhythm game. Maybe The Grand Budapest Hotel could be a hotel simulator. Most of the other games would be narrative-focused Telltale-esque games with difficult decisions forcing player choice. What are your thoughts?
