\nThis week on the Eurogamer Newscast<\/a>, after the success of Amazon’s Fallout TV series<\/a>, we discuss the TV and movie adapatations of video games we’d love to see next. <\/p>\n

So which games do we think might fit the bill? Well, we have a few ideas – and how to go about them. Joining me this week to discuss are Eurogamer’s Ed Nightingale and Victoria Kennedy.
