Kingdom Hearts
Screw the wussy games. I'd play Borderlands.
(It helps that players are almost immune to death in that game. But shooting aliens in the face is the big point in its favor.)

Life is funny. Death is funnier. Mass slaughter can be hilarious.
City of Heroes, of course (assuming that no harm comes to anything but human dignity)!
Barring that, I've always wanted to do a variant of Live Chess where the player tell which piece to move, but that piece gets to decide HOW it moves.
Let's see how chess works with all of the pieces trying to preserve their own lives, heh.
Story Arcs I created:
Every Rose: (#17702) Villainous vs Legacy Chain. Forget Arachnos, join the CoT!
Cosplay Madness!: (#3643) Neutral vs Custom Foes. Heroes at a pop culture convention!
Kiss Hello Goodbye: (#156389) Heroic vs Custom Foes. Film Noir/Hardboiled detective adventure!
Depends.
1. What's the opposition? Are you playing against the same AI as the game in question uses? A new script made for the live action version? Human opponents?
2. How well do the live-action game mechanics match the original game?
3. Personal limitations. Are you playing as an in-universe character or your own self-made avatar? How much freedom do you have to select your own capabilities?
I could go on, but you get the idea. There's always a raft of practical considerations to get through before you can get to the fun stuff. And yes, I approach every game this way, examining every factor that could benefit or hose my enjoyment of it.
Regarding the OP: Mage the Ascension all the way baby!

(Note that you're actually only firing stuffed versions, not actual birds, nothing is harmed except human dignity.)
That said - if you got this weekend's £120m Euro jackpot or knew a John Hammond figure...
if you could play a real-life version of any video or tabletop RPG game, what would it be?
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
