With Tekken 8 launching in a matter of weeks, this week's Top 5 pays homage to other series that managed to hit at least eight games (and kept the number somewhere in their titles) - but with a twist, as we continue to experiment with new Top 5 formats. This week, we combine a trivia contest and a debate over which games should be included... to, uh, uneven results. Then we'll get into HBO's The Last of Us casting its Abby, SAG-AFTRA striking a game-voiceover deal with an AI studio, and your most anticipated games of 2024. Question of the week: What's an outlier or unusual game in a long-running series whose gameplay formula you wish they'd revisit?  Break song is The Count Sings About 8 from Sesame Street.

In a significant casting update for the highly anticipated second season of HBO's The Last of Us, Isabela Merced has been officially chosen to portray the pivotal character of Dina. Dina, a vital figure in the acclaimed video game The Last of Us Part II, serves as both the love interest and companion to lead character Ellie Williams, providing a beacon of light in the narrative's dark undertones. Isabela Merced, known for her roles in Nickelodeon's 100 Things to Do Before High School and films like Transformers: The Last Knight, brings her versatile talents to the series. The character of Dina, explored in the acclaimed video game, plays a crucial role in unravelling themes of love, loyalty, and survival in a post-apocalyptic world. With Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Kaitlyn Dever also joining the cast, The Last of Us Season 2 is set to deliver an emotionally charged and gripping storyline when it premieres on HBO in 2025.

Since we are now living in the era of the Sonic and Super Mario Bros movie, not to mention HBO's The Last of Us, Remember Shuffle is taking a look at how the big-budget video game adaptation all began back in the 2000s. They review three films that, even if profitable, have been totally memory-holed by society: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), Max Payne (2008), and The Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time (2010). They also do some quick rapid-fire reviews of Resident Evil (2001), Doom (2005), and Hitman (2007). En route, they analyze how movie studios fundamentally misunderstand videogame source material in every respect, from character, to visual style, to gaming's generally lowbrow nature. They also discuss Hollywood's neverending search for IP that began in the decade, the obsession with the War on Terror in the 2000s, and how we are heading towards a singularity of popular culture.

This week HBO is set to release its latest show, The Last Of Us, about two strangers, who end up on a perilous journey together through a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic America. The show, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, is based on a hit video game series of the same name. It should be an easy hit for the network. Yet, the show's creators have had to contend with what's known as the “video game curse.” Dating back to the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie, adaptations of video games into film and television have left us with a long list of critical failures. From 2022's Uncharted, to the 2021 Mortal Kombat, and the 2016 Assassin's Creed movie, which earned a whopping 19% on Rotten Tomatoes. This week, OTM Correspondent Micah Loewinger speaks with New Yorker writer and editor, Alex Barasch, about his latest piece ‘Can a Video Game Be Prestige TV?,' if HBO's latest venture could finally break the infamous curse, and why studios continue to make productions based on video games.
