Yeah, my favorite games to hand a kid, definitely the most wholesome franchises.

Assassin's Creed would have fit better.

On the tween side, Ubisoft will tame its open world hacking series Watch Dogs to create an animated "cybermystery" show. The concept art depicts a middle school girl equipped with a few gadgets. Her reflection reveals a more futuristic version of the character set against a Tron-like backdrop.

Gross.

Young adult gamers (and plain, old adult gamers, too) might be more interested in the adaptation of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The 2013 game was a surreal, '80s-inspired romp through a world plagued by giant neon lizards controlled by an evil megacorporation. Its soundtrack by Power Glove is particularly awesome. The TV version, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Vibe, will be helmed by Adi Shankar, who produced Netflix's Castlevania animation.

This could be interesting though.

Blood Dragon will serve as the basis for a Ubisoft TV multiverse. Given how wacky the game was, there are a million ways -- time travel, aliens, black magick, astral projection -- for unrelated characters to make their way onto the screen.

Oh wait, maybe not.

I can see how they could make it work, but it makes no sense given the source material

an Assassin's Creed cartoon would be awesome but considering the blood and violence and how it is anti religion, that show would get canceled fast by angry parents

True. I'd prefer over these and I'm saying that as a Watch Dogs fan.

Actually what might make a good children's cartoon is Prince of Persia but that series is mostly dead now...
