Sunday Scaries: Between 'The Last of Us' and Now 'Dungeons & Dragons' Gaining Critical Acclaim, Game Adaptations Are Having a Moment ... The Sunday Scaries are ...

If The Last of Us was a way to get prestige respect, this is a way to prove that it just takes good storytellers to tell this sort of a story well. This film is a lot of fun, full of wit and a sense of creativity. Not only was HBO’s The Last of Us honoring the video game, it was elevating it, as opposed to being brought down by it, as most game adaptations are. In many ways, this is the template for how you make a big and fun version of something like this. Whether it was a board game like Battleship or a video game like Doom, it just rarely went well. For years, adapting a game as a film or television show was basically a recipe for a poorly received final product.
