10 Video Games That Would Make Amazing TV Shows

5. Metal Gear Solid

Assassin's creed Revelations
Konami

The Metal Gear games have amazed fans for years, becoming famed for their long cuts and detailed story development, which makes playing a Metal Gear game feel like watching an interactive movie. But perhaps it’s time to bring the great franchise to TV, without the gaming part.

The story of Metal Gear is huge, full of secrets, betrayals, and deceptions. Solid Snake is a deep, troubled and flawed protagonist, and Big Boss, Liquid Snake, and Solidus Snake could also qualify as protagonists or villains, depending on the approach.

The Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid games are full of espionage, covert operations, stealthy kills, and undercover missions. With the rich history and story of the games and the addictive, fun gameplay there is no doubt that, if done well, the Metal Gear series could become one of the biggest shows on TV today.

It’s simply a big world to capture, which is why a TV show would be better than a movie.

I like to think of myself as a world traveler and social butterfly, although I do spend a lot of my time watching the latest Japanese anime series, sitcoms, movies, and drama series. I live on the island of Crete, where I was born, and enjoy walking on the beach with my little cocker spaniel, Molly, when I'm not writing for WhatCulture.com and UNILAD.co.uk.
