well there are in fact very few movies made from video games but It can be argued that some have been very successful. Resident Evil for example, while not a direct adaptation of the games has now spanned 4 sequels, each more successful than the last, is spinning its own continuity, and is Sony's second-highest grossing franchise behind Spider-Man. The Mortal Kombat movie back in the day was a very faithful adaption of the first game and was a moderate success, and the first Tomb raider film also was a considerable success. Prince of Persia, Silent Hill, Hitman, Max Payne, etc. all did well at the box office.

Of course there are some turkeys - Far Cry, Doom, House of the Dead, Street Fighter, etc. But as a medium live-action adaptions of video games are something that seems to be improving.

That said I still don't want Shepard's story as a Mass Effect movie. Another story maybe, but not Shepard's.
