From the brutal battles of Gears of War to the emotional stories of Life Is Strange, these titles can make for incredible TV shows.

For decades, video game adaptations were notoriously bad and besieged by a terrible reputation. But the tide has turned. Shows like The Last of Us and Fallout are leading the charge into an era where video game adaptations can be criticized.

Set in the vast and incredibly rich world of Tamriel, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has enormous potential for an epic television series.
