It's not bad by necessity, as long as the author has the scope to not just write about gun fights and battlefields.

There are video games that would make great source material for films or books.
But instead of making books on games that could really benefit from an adaptation it's just the most popular stuff like Halo, Gears of War, World of Warcraft.
Why not something with more of an actual story? There's a lot of RPGs that could make a good film adaptation. Hell even a Metal Gear Solid adaptation could be cool.
Besides, anyone who would even bother to write a book or movie based on a video game probably has no talent anyway and would just take a huge steaming sh*t on the source material.
