10 Upcoming Video Game Movies That Absolutely Nobody Asked For

3. Rabbids

Gaming has always been full of cutesy animal mascots, what with all the bandicoots and hedgehogs and € whatever the hell a Pikachu is. And now there€™s the Raving Rabbids, creatures no doubt made in some evil lab out of pure, concentrated irritation, with a vocabulary that€™s limited to noises written by a cat stepping across a keyboard. Naturally, kids love €˜em. They€™re basically Despicable Me€™s minions, if they suffered from ADHD, sadism and crack addiction. No longer content to keep the Rabbids quarantined in the games industry, Ubisoft are looking to inflict their evil creation upon the entire world through a feature film, Saturday morning cartoon and an interactive TV series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlSzQ0VvRAg What€™s an €œinteractive TV series€, you ask? Why, it€™s a magical, revolutionary technology for the Xbox One that actually lets kids play a game within the video! No, it€™s not a video game, you uneducated cretin. It€™s an extended cutscene that occasionally lets you point and scream with no discernible outcome. Encouraging kids to act out exactly what they see on-screen seems counter-productive to the €œgames don€™t make kids violent€ argument, but after seeing that bit about filling the BWAHH-o-meter, we€™re more concerned about it making their parents violent.
