Power Button - Episode 122: The Show Must Go On (To Become A Video Game)
February 21, 2014
Television shows and movies have been licensed for video game adaptations since the dawn of the interactive medium, but only the most popular productions are turned into games (and there's plenty more trash out there in that genre than treasure). Worthy, entertaining shows and films are overlooked for the game treatment all the time. Blake Grundman and I are tired of seeing our favorites overlooked in favor of yet another take on a kiddie cartoon or the latest blockbuster movie squeezed into a mobile freemium experience. On this episode of the Power Button podcast, we discuss which TV shows and movies we wish would be adapted into stellar games. The Twilight Zone, Stargate SG-1, American Dad, MacGyver, and many more are given our dream game treatment. Join us for an hour of discussion. No reruns here!
