8 TV Shows That Would Make Awesome Video Games

8. Archer

Perhaps an obvious choice, America's answer to James Bond would make a brilliant central character for a gaming franchise.

An egotistical, alcoholic secret agent whose self-interest almost always takes priority over his mission objectives, Sterling Archer has the espionage skills to go toe to toe with Bond and the sexual appetite to match.

There's literally tonnes of action sequences to inspire various play styles, a whole catalogue of pseudo 60s gadgets to use and the hilarious writing to accompany it, so it would be easy to make this one of the most entertaining games of the decade.

We can only begin to imagine the fun creators could have with features like Archer's alcoholism or the rich cast of characters available for potentially different play styles.

It could perhaps benefit from the kind of platform Splinter Cell Blacklist used, with all missions launched from their SMI - a giant map of the world except instead of the SMI it would be Archer's HQ.

As well as Archer's friends and allies, the animated comedy also has a rich cast of villains, like rival agent turned cyborg Barry, that would make engaging and challenging bosses for any video game.

Let's face it, it would be hard to mess this one up!
