Forget The Last of Us, these 3 video games need adapting to TV now

Bioshock

Video game adaptions have exploded over the past few years, and are only set to accelerate thanks to the unprecedented success of The Last of Us. Yes, at long last it seems as if the video game curse has been lifted, opening the door for anything and everything to be crossed over to streaming and/or television. You just have to make sure it's done right. 

While live-action served The Last of Us very well, the power of animation can't be overlooked either. Arcane: League of Legends, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Castlevania have made a much bigger impact in this form, being able to stick to the source material and shine in a way that would not be possible in live-action. On the opposite end of this, you have the Resident Evil series that missed the mark completely and was cancelled after only one season, so there's clearly still room for improvement.
