Honestly, there are almost no films based on games that stand out above the rest. There are bad ones, and there are ones that are less bad, with maybe one or two exceptions depending on personal taste.
So what follows is not a list of the best video game movies. It is a list of recommendations for bad and passable video game movies that are entertaining to watch — because they're flashy, or they stand as solid representations of a particular game series, or they're just so wild you can't look away.

Video Games Owe Black Players More Than Just Talk | PCMag
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Video games aren’t special. They exist in the same world as everything else and are impacted by the same social, cultural, and political forces.
We’re seeing this now as the games industry continues to grapple with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic . Huge in-person events like E3 and GDC got cancelled and replaced with online showcases for new games and consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X . That pandemic is still very much happening, but recently a whole new wave of unrest has the world looking like it will never go back to the way things were.
Baseball Video Game Reviews: Super Mega Baseball 3 - The Crawfish Boxes
I think there's a real art to making fun, arcade-y baseball video games. Maybe it's because my first baseball video game was Backyard Baseball. Maybe it's because I can sometimes get a little intense with more in-depth simulations, like Out of the Park Baseball (although it also does fill a different niche as a game, coming more from the management simulation side of things).

And on top of that, there's an added difficulty in making games that are not just fun, but also intuitive to pick up and play for most people; there are a lot of things going on in baseball, and sometimes, in trying to adapt every single aspect for fidelity, you end up with a complicated heap of systems for the player to memorize before they feel like they have a handle on things.
The Last of Us Part 2: A blind video gamer got emotional after seeing the game's extensive
(CNN) When blind gamer Steve Saylor received an early review copy of The Last of Us Part II, one of the most anticipated video games of the year, he wasn't entirely sure what to expect.
I've been reluctant to post this.
I recorded my reaction when I saw the #accessibility settings in #TheLastofUsPartII for the first time thinking it would be a fun video for posterity. I...did not expect this.
This is why we do what we do. 😢

Why Licensed Video Games Are Usually Terrible | CBR
It's no secret that licensed video games have a pretty bad reputation. While some, like GoldenEye , the Batman: Arkham series and the Middle-earth games, are high-quality and show that developers have finally started taking licensed titles seriously, there are way more bad licensed games than good ones. This is not just a coincidence.
Licensed video games have been around almost as long as video games themselves. One of the most famous horrible licensed games, the legendary E.T. for the Atari 2600, of course, was based on the 1982 Stephen Spielberg film. The video game adaptation is considered one of the worst games in history, with many people blaming it for the great video game crash of 1983.
Golden State Warriors question: what's your favorite basketball video game? - Golden State Of Mind
This week at SB Nation is "Video Game Week," which probably resonates well with Golden State Warriors fans. Basketball video games are just fantastic. I say that as someone who's not a very big fan of video games, but it's just accurate. Basketball video games are the absolute best.

On the one hand, we have the flavor of the day, NBA 2K. 2K is the most popular basketball video game on the planet, inspiring NBA-partnered leagues, and even having celebrities who got famous playing the game.
Buffalo Bills fandom and video games - Buffalo Rumblings
You're heard it a million times before. "Fan" is short for "fanatic." And in our fanatical devotion to sports we often look for ways to be more directly involved in the game and teams that we love. Many of us have game day traditions. Some of these include superstitions that we feel make a direct impact on the outcome. Even if we don't believe it, we make sure they continue. Just in case.
For many fans though, that's not enough. We want to know we have an impact on the game. Sure it's not possible for most of us to suit up "IRL." However the world of video games provides an outlet to shape the outcomes we'd like to see.
Video: EndeavorRX is first video game approved by FDA to treat ADHD
EndeavorRX, which is used to treat children aged 8 to 12 with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), can now be marketed and prescribed as "the first game-based digital therapeutic device to improve attention function in children with [ADHD]," the FDA announced on Monday.
In the game, players steer a flying craft through obstacle courses where they have to avoid hazards, like fire pits or underwater mines, while collecting targets. Akili recommends that children who are prescribed the game play for 25-30 minutes a day, five days a week, for four weeks.
