I wouldn't worry about something like Halo translating to film. It could be done. It just has to be the right person.
Peter Jackson and Neil Blommkamp were exciting, but that's gone now. James Cameron would also direct the shit out of it, but I doubt he'd do it at this juncture.

I dunno about the others. I don't think any video game worth adapting is unable to be adapted right, as long as it's approached correctly.

There are certain games that I feel are pointless to adapt though. For instance, GTA or DeadRising.
They're mainly inspired and derived from existing mob and zombie movies respectively. So it's like a movie adaptation of a video-game adaptation of movies. Too deluded.
