Telltale Games: 5 Film & TV Series They Must Adapt

1. The Strain

Created by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, The Strain is a modern day horror title that follows the events of an outbreak of Vampirism in New York city. First a book and graphic novel, and now a TV series with growing popularity, The Strain has a strong cast of characters and features a fresh take on Vampires that defies everything you think you know about the bloodsuckers.

Genuinely gross, tense, and terrifying, The Strain would be an excellent addition to Telltale's horror repertoire - following their success with The Walking Dead.

Visually, the style of the comics and the way the vampires are drawn would look great in Telltale's engine, and using the early days of the outbreak as a staging ground, Telltale could create a new cast of survivors for us to guide to (relative) safety.

A unique twist on the game could be in casting us as all of the group, making it less clear who the "main" protagonist is, and therefore keeping us more on edge when it comes to figuring out who would survive the series.
