The Best Video Game Movies and TV Shows

A new roundup highlights 10 of the best video game movies and TV shows, arguing that the era of poor game-to-screen adaptations may be fading. The list spans streaming and live-action as well as animation, citing titles from Netflix and other platforms. It starts with Pokemon Detective Pikachu, praising the mystery story and voice work that includes Bill Nighy as Mewtwo and Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu. Next is Devil May Cry, which the article credits for sharp animation and its Netflix adaptation. The roundup continues with Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and then moves to HBO’s The Last of Us, framing the show as a high-profile TV transfer from the game.
