With the sequel to 2012's Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph Breaks the Internet, poised to trash theaters on November 21, we're set to venture into the territory of amateur fan films to try and see which not-for-profit shorts have best captured the video game experience. While Ralph Breaks the Internet is looking to fully encompass the video game (and internet) experience, these fan films get more specific but never skimp on creativity.

Inspired by iconic franchises such as Fallout, Bioshock, Portal, Doom, The Last of Us, Silent Hill, Halo, Skyrim, and more, clever filmmakers funded by minuscule budgets are delivering a diverse wave of film interpretations of their favorite video games.

Get a jolt of video game fever and join us for our ranking of some of the finest fan films on the grid, no joysticks or dual-shock controllers required.
