11 action heroes that deserve their own game
With every movie getting multi-million dollar game adaptations, a few action movies didn't get a fair shake in videogames. Here are 11 action heroes that deserved better.
4- Snake Pliskin
Previously Kicked Ass In: Escape from New York, Escape from L.A.
Why He'd Make a Great Game Hero: It's well known that the eye-patch wearing raspy-voiced protagonist from John Carpenter's sci-fi action film series heavily inspired Hideo Kojima when he created Solid Snake of the Metal Gear Solid series--Kojima even stated in interviews that he's a big fan of the movies. Snake Pliskin is dying to be put into a game where you crack criminals' skulls in the post-apocalyptic streets of major cities. Take the open-world mayhem of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, sprinkle in some Gears of War combat, and place it into the backdrop of Escape from New York/L.A. and you've got one hell of a game. Kurt Russell may be getting too old for the cancelled Escape from Earth movie, but we say, why not turn Snake's final escape in the trilogy into a game?
