The Last Of Us Has Us Wishing These 8 TV Shows Were Video Games

We've spent hours binging all of these shows, and now we want to spend hundreds more playing them

The best TV shows create fictional worlds you want to explore and characters you sometimes want to be. That’s part of the reason why every show from The Sopranos and Lost (in the PS2 era) to M*A*S*H (way back on the Atari 2600) have been turned into (mostly pretty lousy) video games. (Of course, it also helps that studios want to milk successful IPs for all they’re worth). The Last of Us is that rare example of a property that is finding great success in both forms: the original games are widely beloved and have millions of fans around the world, and the HBO series is only pulling even more people into the fold. Given the success of the video game adaptation of The Last Of Us (and the impending arrival of its second season), we decided to flip the script and take a deeper look at the TV shows we wish we could play as video games.
