Suicide Squad's James Gunn Reveals His Top Three Video Games
The writer/director behind many recent superhero projects such as The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, James Gunn, has revealed his top three video games of all time, including Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The creator has long been associated with the video game industry, with a clear love of gaming.
Despite being most widely known for his work in the movie and TV space within the world of horror, superheroes, and Scooby Doo, Gunn has a history with video games, having co-written the 2012 game Lollipop Chainsaw with Masahiro Yuki. Lollipop Chainsaw featured a cheerleader zombie-hunter fighting the undead in a fictional California high school, and served as a throwback to pulpy horror classics such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Gunn revealed on his press tour for 2021's The Suicide Squad that this game even served as the inspiration for an ultra-stylized fight scene involving Harley Quinn in the film.

KOTOR and Mass Effect are recognized as being unmissable games, as they are classic RPG-defining releases, and Defense Grid is a critically acclaimed game that, much like the other titles listed, pushed its genre to the next level with its gameplay and style. Expanding on his choices, Gunn stated that he was a huge fan of the tower defense genre, having "played every tower defense game there is."
