10 TV Shows That Would Make Great Video Games

Arrow

The show that started it all! Arrow has been a consistently fantastic series and would make a wicked video game. The game would likely take place at the present time, without the need for flashbacks (since the TV series has done enough of those). While Arrow has expanded it’s cast with a number of additional heroes helping the fight, I would prefer the focus to be solely on Arrow, with Felicity on coms and Diggle as support. I enjoyed the Damien Darhk plotline and it’d be nice if they did something dark and mystical like that, which, of course, could deliver a much-deserved cameo from Matt Ryan as Constantine.

Arrow would play like Thief.

Vikings

Vikings is a show inspired by the legendary Norseman tales from over a thousand years ago. It includes raiding, pillaging and all that other fun stuff you think of when you think of Vikings. Now, we’ve had games based on Vikings before, such as the timeless classic The Lost Vikings, but we’ve never had a game that delivered a story and lore quite like the show Vikings.

Vikings would play like God of War and could focus on the exploits of Bjorn Ironside.

Red Bull Crashed Ice 

Red Bull Crashed Ice is one sport that deserves a video game. Crashed Ice features a sloped ice track, set up on actual city streets. Four competitors race down the track on ice skates with the goal of crossing the line first. It’s fast and intense and would make a helluva great video game.

Red Bull Crashed Ice would play like SSX, just on ice skates.

 

Bonus: Paw Patrol

This one is for the kids. If you’re a parent, you have undoubtedly watched Paw Patrol, at least a thousand times. The show is cute and has a fun cast featuring lovable puppies that each have their own abilities. The game would require gamers to cycle through the various Paw Patrol pups to solve various problems in an open world version of Adventure Bay. Just yelp for help!

Paw Patrol would play like Lego Marvel Super Heroes.
