Seven Great Franchises that Never Got a Decent Video Game

TSJ: Most games based on other media (comics, movies, TV shows, celebrities, soft-drink mascots) have just plain sucked. The plots didn’t translate well to stages, leveling up and multiple pointless enemies, and the systems weren’t advanced enough to truly tell the story the way the franchise demands.

Until now. Today’s systems are more powerful than a rabid chimpanzee, and the writers are smarter, having grown up as fans of the shows and movies they are now commissioned to base games upon. After years of electronic vomit, fans have finally been rewarded with well-written, intelligent, and fun-to-play games based on media such as The X-Men and The Simpsons.

It’s time to do the same with these seven franchises.

Family guy...

The game that came out wasn't as good since it was basicaly chapter based, how about a game like the Simpsons hit and run where it's a massive open world map of Quahog. You could unlock skins, weapons and vehicles like the hindenpeter, the brain dead horse or even that Dragon Peter rides where he's like "YEAH"...."Wher e going down Buddy"...."YEAH" ;.

With it being Family guy I'm sure you could come up with some crazy plot that would set the games events in motion. Like South Park theres so much to do with Family guy

And maybe even include side-missions where Stewie and Brian go on epic adventures around the world (or through time). :D

saladthieves4604d ago

Agreed - would love to see a side mission where out of nowhere Peter stars fighting with the giant chicken.

I enjoyed a few of the South Park games. South Park Rally, South Park 64 and the tower defense one was pretty decent. Nothing great by any means but decent.

ReservoirDog3164604d ago

Haha, I always thought Tom and Jerry would make a good game when I watched it when I was little.

Relientk774604d ago

Theres a Tom and Jerry video game for Sega Genesis, I own it. Its not bad

CynicalVision4604d ago

How about Aliens? (I don't mean AvP, just Aliens itself).

UltimateSin4604d ago (Edited 4604d ago )

I thoroughly enjoyed South Park 64 and South Park Rally. They were so much fun.

UltimateIdiot9114604d ago

I remember my brother and I use to play South Park 64 a lot. It was pretty fun but then again this was when I was 12 or so.

Chiki Chiki boys is underrated. good game tbh

jamesclark19911082d ago

Man I adored that game as a kid.

SavageFlamingo1083d ago

Aww man. I forgot about Boogerman. And the McDonald’s game. Me, my sister, and a lot of my cousins put countless hours into that one.

Kurupt1082d ago

Chili chiki boys always reminded me of dragon ball for whatever reason

Relientk771081d ago

I have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Hyperstone Heist, complete. It's awesome and I've beaten it so many times.

I knew they would have to add Medievil for October on either Ps plus or Ps Now ! Glad i waited.

MadLad1304d ago

I wasn't willing to buy MediEvil, but I'll definitely give it a try via Now.

Lexreborn21304d ago

I bought medieval earlier this year when it was on sale for 20. And after the game being out for 20 years I finally beat it and I loved it.

I’ve learned that not all games are meant to be beat right away. But, it’s always nice to have options.

Xb1ps41304d ago

I feel ashamed I have yet to buy this game... I’ll get it on ps5

SamPao1304d ago

Days Gone? I think its gonna be in the ps+ collection

Xb1ps41304d ago

Oh... meant medievil but want to play days gone as well..

SamPao1304d ago

Aaaah medievil yeah me2. Some nostalgia right there :D
Hope they add it to the collection or it gets an upgrade. Well it probably doesnt need it. It looks great already

gold_drake1304d ago
