Its a well known fact that any movie which is based on a video game is probably going to suck (there are a couple of exceptions - eg I kinda liked Tomb Raider although I'm willing to admit this may simply be due to the lead actress). Anyway, despite most movie conversions being poor, there are actually quite a lot of good video shorts based on games.
By far the most impressive that I have seen is the Assassin's Creed II - Lineage video. Granted, this is because this is a professional production by a studio within Ubisoft who were created (acquired?) for the sole purpose of producing these videos but still, it shows what you can do if you approach it properly.

Wow - nice production values behind that one.
Will look out for the game when it hits the pc, if its not too long. One thing that annoys me is when they take ages to release to pc after it hits the consoles - by then the buzz has gone and I'm no longer interested.
Yeah, you can tell that they really pumped some money into that.
And I know exactly what you mean re the buzz. With so many good games being released all the time and nowhere near enough time to play them all, the only reason you would play an old game is if it was cheap.
The even bigger issue is whether they take the time to do a proper port. The K/M control scheme is completely different from an Xbox game controller and if you don't take that into account, it really shows. I remember playing Beyond Good and Evil on the PC and thinking, "these controls suck".
