Did you know that there’s a shocking amount of fairly relevant video game references all throughout the uniquely dark and charming Veronica Mars series?
I combed through every episode from its first three seasons in 2005-2007, as well as the brand new Season 4 to find every game ever played (or, in one occasion, name-dropped). The showrunners even do a pretty good job of pairing the right games with the right consoles, even if they aren’t always paired with the right controllers or player inputs, with their non-sensical button mashing. Still — I’ll take what I can get as far as accuracy of video game references in mainstream media goes.
Check out the slideshow above for every game reference in Veronica Mars. Bonus: We’ve included the original IGN review scores for each game unearthed, too.
