Defiantely true, there are many great games out there, that if handled by people with talent and ambition, could be translated onto the screen very well. However, nobody seems to know how to do that effectively yet. All of the current films (Resident Evil series, Doom, Mario Bros., and yes, even Silent Hill), witht he exception of Mortal Kombat which was about as good as it could have been, sucked pretty badly, or at least didn't come close to their potential. I remember being vastly disappoited by the 'Silent Hill' film especially. But games like Half- Life, Metal Gear Solid, Halo, Gears of War, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, etc. all have great stories and could be turned into rather good films if handled with care.
