We are in the “best video game adaptation of all time" era with The Last Of Us. It's a low-ish bar to be fair, but this faithful adaptation of the best-selling game proves that if you take care with the material you are given, then you can conjure up a bloody good watch.

The show's finale recently aired but you won't be waiting long for another video game fix on the small scree. That's because the likes of Amazon are busy creating a Fallout TV series, Netflix is making a Bioshock adaptation and many more are in the pipeline.

This got us thinking: if video games are indeed set to be the new ‘superheroes’ of the big screen, then here are some more games we’d love to see adapted.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
