does anyone have any television
connections cuz we got some ideas oh
that explains your charming sense of
humor welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 video games that would make good
TV shows remember me for this list we’re
looking at those video games that would
translate well on to the small screen
meaning the games have interesting
characters a great world and enough
content to fill for bite-sized viewings
across numerous seasons that might be
more on the way we’re excluding games
that have already had a go on TV anyway
so you won’t find the Legend of Zelda or
Halo here ever thought we’d set foot on
my halo ring
there are also some games we feel would
work better as a movie rather than a TV
show so if you’re interested to see what
games those are be sure to check out our
picks for the top 10 video games that
should have film adaptations a man
chooses a slave obeys number 10 Alan
Wake from the genius mind of Max Payne
writer Sam lake comes Alan Wake a game
about a best-selling novelist who must
find his wife while his book comes to
life all around him I’ve always had a
vivid imagination but this dream
unsettled me it was wild and dark and
weird even by my standards the Pacific
Northwest setting and foreboding mood of
the game complement television perfectly
as we’ve already seen in similar series
like Twin Peaks Diana’s for 10:00 in the
afternoon devasena to crime here’s
something we haven’t seen before it also
helps that the game itself is built like
a television series in that it contains
episodes and at each one ends on a
nail-biting cliffhanger
with enough plot-twists to satisfy
numerous seasons this one could be a
great thriller for TV get a mop
Hemingway you’re under arrest you move a
muscle unload right now goddamn face
stay right where you know 9 Team
Fortress 2 we know what you’re thinking
how can a multiplayer game make a good
TV show well Team Fortress 2 strength
for a good show lies in its meeting the
characters trailers and if that don’t
work the use of unique and mature humor
throughout could also make for some
hilarious situations and draw the adult
animation crowd assuming they keep the
game’s signature art style it also has a
fantastic cast of characters that are
likable and instantly quotable and the
general lack of story means free reign
for creative stories plus it’s been a
while since we’ve had an original
animated show set between two slapstick
factions
number six – Raider series okay let’s
just pretend that the angelina jolie
movies never happened as two raider
deserves better gone now okay let’s
continue alright i’m convinced this show
could have been a hit even without the
gaming audience mostly due to the
character of lara croft a strong badass
heroine character a character that
television currently is sadly lacking
thank you it could also contain stellar
platforming action to get the heart
pumping but perhaps most importantly
each episode would be a self-contained
adventure to an amazing locale if done
right to raider could be a television
phenomenon number seven homeworld
we advise commencing research
immediately so i know you never actually
see any humans in this game but hear me
out the first 3d realtime strategy game
complete with a kick-ass story home
world is perfect fodder for the science
fiction genre very similar to Battlestar
Galactica in terms of tone and backstory
somebody’s bucking for a promotion
earlier the game focus is on a
mothership essentially a large city
originally intended to be a symbol of
hope becoming the last refuge for a
civilization whose world has been
destroyed does that sound familiar
great that’s some that is quite an honor
the game also never completely focuses
on what happens inside the ship allowing
for a lot of creative freedom to play
with in terms of casting it would demand
new technologies new industries and new
sacrifices number six jak and Daxter
series hey Jack can I have your insect
collection one of PlayStation 2s most
defining series the jak and daxter games
lend themselves incredibly well to a
television series that both children and
adults could enjoy you need a hog Jack
cuz we got plenty to go around the games
are praised for their characters and
seeing them on the small screen with
their hilarity and action-packed
shenanigans would be sure to bring
audiences due to their chemistry and
strong personalities yeah well don’t get
used to it
it’s just that nobody hurts my best
friend and lets to brag about it the
environments are also all fantastic and
eye-popping and the complex lore behind
the games would make for thrilling
individual stories that would be sure to
bring numerous seasons of excitement
my brother there aren’t enough hours in
the day number five splinter cell series
he was his own man now all his ties to
his old life or God oh man if a TV
series could get the rights to this name
it would break the internet funny now
tell me what I need to know somewhat
like 24 but with a lot more sneaking and
less yelling the games follow covert
operative Sam Fisher and his team as
they foil terrorist plots the story also
takes emotional and dramatic personal
turns throughout the games which would
be perfect for television due to its
penchant for character drama with an
emphasis on stealth action rather than
explosions the series would also add a
unique spin on the jar for television
and make for some terrific sequences
obviously Metal Gear Solid is another
contender for this spot but come on
between the writings of Tom Clancy and
hideo kojima it’s obvious whose
characters would translate better onto
TV oh crap you’re Fischer don’t hurt me
I don’t know anything
number 4 Red Dead Redemption what do you
want Marston my family any extra time
spent with John Marston is good time
spent there’s a strange lack of westerns
on television which is surprising
considering the wealth of content that
the jar provides and content is what Red
Dead would deliver question is which one
went out between his pride and his
instinct for survival the game lends
itself incredibly well to the television
form due to all the different characters
quests and stories that John partakes in
not to mention the overarching storyline
regarding his past so I understand it
would be incredibly violent and harsh
but also beautiful and expansive just
what a Western deserves to be no I hate
the judge but as it turns out it’s you
for me number three Skylanders series
what do you say we teach bighead
what is called a toys to life video game
setai Landers has been providing
entertainment for children for years now
so it’s about time that the franchise
expands into another medium you just
leave a negotiate no captain Flynn the
series would make a perfect Saturday
morning cartoon or any other form of
children’s show featuring many unique
and interesting characters including
everyone’s favorite from their childhood
spyro Gil snap out of it like Pokemon
before it this franchise would make a
terrific pairing of games and TV and
become the next big children’s
extravaganza why don’t you just call us
it’s actually baffling the show doesn’t
already exist
considering how popular it is with kids
you guys look like toys this is not me
at my best but we got us a portal portal
that can get us back to Skylands number
two Mirror’s Edge series why is it going
crazy get out of everything you can
describe why Mirror’s Edge would make a
fantastic TV series with one word
parkour
parkour is sadly missing from the
television Pantheon which is surprising
giving it’s sudden surge in popularity
the freerunning would make for some
fantastic action sequences and the story
lends itself nicely to an ongoing series
has faith deals with a multitude of
characters each having their own agenda
and story
hey mark but you look like a janitor you
know me the bright futuristic city would
also be gorgeous to look at making this
a complete and original package that
television could really use before we
get our hopes up with our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions
why did the agency want you I don’t know
I guess I have
did this for you why Ben hmm looks like
a test there’s probably a secret more
advanced route what’s that supposed to
mean
now free what’s the game he must be
stopped
hey toad my car number one Fallout
series
you know how these games are so packed
with content that you basically have to
say goodbye to your family before you
begin well just imagine the expanse that
a TV show could provide that sounds like
a suicide mission but our orders are to
take commands from them while
Borderlands would be awesome due to some
similarities fallout has it beat for
sure not only do the games feature
beautiful desolation that would be
gorgeous to look at but the sheer number
of characters stories creatures and
anything else you can name means fallout
would have both quantity and quality
we’re actually just looking for work sir
this could be the show you’re waiting
for do you agree with our list
maybe maybe what game do you think would
make a good TV show are you enraged by
my Canadian accent saying TV if I tell
