I think a game based on Simon Green's Nightside series would be a cool idea.

The made a Bourne game for the 360 (not sure about other platforms) that was actually really good. Short...but good. Probably find it super cheap now.

I would really love to see Stephen King's Dark Tower Series become a videogame. And although it belongs to the Warhamer 40000 universe I would like an adaptation of Dan Abnett's "Gaunt's Ghosts" series, FPS probably.

Good question! After giving it some thought, I would have to say a game based on Iain M. Banks' Consider Phlebas would be very interesting.

Hover Car Racer

Could only find Part 1, so if you haven't read the book, and you liked what you read, I highly recommend reading it. Just keep in mind that it is aimed at the young adult/teen audience.

A Fight Club game was released for the original xbox.

Also, I'd love to see The Lord of the Flies made into a game. Open world, moral choices etc. It would be amazing.

Sacif

Definitly this, I could see some really cool detective/investigation mechanics using Taylors "third eye" powers. The setting of the Nightside is so out there you could really do whatever you wanted in terms of gameplay and story and it would still make sense in context to the books.

My own choice would be The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. The books practically beg to be made into a game. The main character is a supernatural detective/wizard for crying out loud.

The Drizzt series.

He's had too many cameos...give him his own game that follows the storyline!

Of course, it would probably have to be multiple games to get to where it is now, but they would be good.

I know theres an Icewind Dale game, but that's pretty old and I can't find it anywhere.

I'd like to see Battle Royale. It would be all about survival and trying to figure out who to trust because anyone can turn on you. It'd make a good suspensful thriller type of game.

The Drizzt series.

I'm reading the Orc King right now. It's the first I've ever read with Drizzt in it. Not a bad idea, but it wouldn't be very original.

Have you actually read the Bible? There are some really interesting things that happen in there... and some pretty badass battles. If done right (which it never is) it could be quite good, and be about more than just killing and violence.

--

My pick would definitely be House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It would end up as possibly the greatest mind-**** game ever made. And think it would be easier to depict the "house" in game form rather than film.

Might I refer you to these two links below? There's potential for some interesting games, but the attempts that have been made have been disastrous:
