Six TV Shows That Need To Be Made Into Videogames

Venture Bros. – In keeping with the Venture aesthetic, we’ll go retro for this one.  Back to the early 90s when arcades were everywhere and console games devoured our change.  In those days, we saw a lot of games where up to four players teamed up to beat on wave after wave of assailants before reaching a boss and then moving on to the next level.  Most of these were licensed games – X-Men and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made perfect sense in this genre.  And while undeniably awesome, The Simpsons was a bit of a headscratcher.  (Lisa Simpson is knocking over mobsters with her jump rope?)  This style even made a bit of a comeback last year with Scott Pilgrim.  And it’s a perfect fit for the Ventures.  Doc Venture, Hank, Dean, and Brock Samson fight their way through hordes of frogmen, ninjas, and butterfly-themed henchmen, only to have to face Baron Underbheit, Phantom Limb, and finally, the Monarch.  Let’s not even pretend this wouldn’t be totally sweet.  Of course, you know that everybody would want to play as Brock.  Seriously, what’s Dean going to do to a ninja?
