8 Video Games That Should Have Been Movies

For those not in the know, and quite possibly for those looking for a copy of this game seeing as the IP it's based on is quite literally the coolest thing going, Afro Samurai 2: Revenge Of Kuma was a title so unanimously hated by critics and fans that the devs out and out apologized for its existence before then deleting digital copies of it from every single storefront possible.

It was that bad, trust me I've played it.

However what truly sucked about the entire experience was that there was a brilliant story here, yet was one just covered in total and utter horseshit. The narrative picks up after the first film with Kuma seeking revenge against Afro. His hatred for the titular character stems from the fact that Afro killed the pair's master in order to take the Number 2 headband from him in order to challenge the Number 1 and avenge his father.

This tale of revenge fits beautifully next to the wider cyclical nature of violence that Afro finds himself in and to have to murder his childhood friend not once but twice is one that is tragic and emotional in equal measure. As a film sitting alongside the other animated media in the franchise, it would have allowed fans another opportunity to delve into the cyber-wild west style of the film.

Instead, all we got was a lukewarm dollop of nothingness that tasted only of what could have been.
