Video-Game rides, what would you want?

I know this has been talked about a little, but what I was wondering is, what (non Disney) video-game/s would you like to see as a Disney park attraction? What kind of attraction, and what park would it be in? I say non Disney because games like Epic Mickey, Kingdom hearts, Mickey mania, castle of illusion... are no brainers. My top 3 choices would have to be:

3. Castlevania - I think a haunted mansion esque ride would work well. I would like it to be set around Simmons quest time frame. The amount of theming detail you could put in to it would be amazing. The journey to the castle to the epic fight with Dracula himself, awesome! This would be a much needed dark ride for the studios.

2. Panzer Dragoon - This game would work well as a hybrid coaster/water ride. I'm not sure what kind of ride tech to use but the sound of riding around this world of dragons gets the juices going. This would be an awesome addition if they ever decided to do the beastly kingdom in animal kingdom.

1. Mass Effect - I would love to see something that was kind of like test track meets toy story midway mania. Something with some interactivity that let you utilize the biotic powers but integrated into a thrilling dark ride. Again, perfect for the studios.

I picked these games because of the rich background and story they all have, and the worlds really would lend themselves to rides. I have a bunch I would love to see but these are my top picks. I know it wont happen anytime soon, but I do think we are approaching the time when we see a full blown video-game attraction adaptation. There are many games that are/have crossed over to mainstream awareness like; Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Halo.... If you love video-games like I do, its a fun thing to think about, and a slightly different take on what the parks could use.

I would like to see a Space Harrier based simulator ride where you follow Harrier while he fights many of the enemies seen in the original game.

Another idea would be a Test Track-like ride based on OutRun.

I like the space harrier idea, and make it 3d as well. You could then have the glasses be replicas of the SMS 3D glasses. How cool would that be!:lol:

The simple answer....Halo. Riding in a Warthog with a DMR would be a little slice of heaven for me.

The not so simple answers....Portal and Myst. I would love to see the Imagineers dust off the old DI to MYST island plans and have a crack at a boutique park. I have no idea how Portal could be turned into an attraction but the game has a great story and I would love to see it expanded upon.

Although Im not a big shooter fan, the Halo universe and story was pretty entertaining and well done. I hadnt really thought of the warthog but I will agree, it would be pretty cool. Who knows, if the movie ever gets done (and doesnt suck) some theme park could pick it up.

Sorry just dreaming again.

A Need For Speed ride using the Test Track/Radiator Springs ride system could be fun. They would need to put several different models of cars on the track though, instead of just one design like they have at Test Track.
