What book would you like to play as a game

I would like to see Marvel Zombies integrated into a game somehow.

I guess comic books count...

Either an open world Lord of the Rings RPGbachilders

There's LOTRO. I can't wait until they add Gondor and Moria. LOTRO seems to be doing well, so it should only be a matter of time. It's a dream come true :)

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. It would have to be more of an interactive movie/adventure game like Fahrenheit but if done well, would compliment the novel amazingly.foxhound_fox

As long as they keep the number of rocking dick statues to a minimum, I think that would be a very good idea...

Sorry for going a bit off topic, but which part was that? About a year passed between the time I read the book and when I saw the movie, but as far as I can recall, I didn't notice any inconsistencies between the book and movie in the closing scenes.

If they put alot of money into the Harry Potter games, I dont see why they shouldnt be great but they suck sooo. My next choice would be like a modern Dracula. Thats a great book and would make a great game.

I think it'd be tough to pull of the same feel of the novel. Also, I don't know if the story itself really lends well to an interactive medium. Would the game come with a box of drugs to take when your being conditioned along with Alex? :P

A song of ice and fire by George RR Martin

I mean there already are the NWN and Rome Total War mods, but I'd like a complete RPG based on the books, even if it was not set in the same time period as the books. It would be kin of cool starting off as a deserter of the Wall and then just letting you go in Westeros and maybe then expansions for the rest of the world

Dune!!! I'm not sure if this has been done before, but dune is one of the richest universes in existance, both in bredth and lenth.

I also agree with one of the above posters about enders game, but only the space sim portion.

Like many others here have mentioned, a Dark Tower game would be awesome, gunslinger would also make a great movie, cant believe it hasnt been done.

I would also love to see a RPG of the Dragon Lance Chronicles, one where all the main characters are playable within a teamCo op based game, magine Rastlin, the mage character......Tanis, the Archer Character......Sturm, the Knight character, Tassoholf , the thief , Caromin the tank etc , etc....the bookshave everything and i would love for it to be developed, sadly all we get is a animated movie thats due to come out that looks kinda sub par to me.....

The Wheel of Time, Robert Jordanpwilletts

That would be great! ( But I was told it was done a long time ago) They made a FPS.

Discworld Fandangle

There have been at least three Discworld games already.

Anyway, I would definitely want to play a game version of Snow Crash. It would be perfect!

Dark Tower series.Morphic

I'm with you on this one. Dark Tower would make such a great game if done right. Roland would be so much fun to play

O.J.'s book as an FPS.

Indeed, an RTS, TBS, RPG of ASOIAF series would be nice. Especially an RPG, as it can be another medium of learning more about the rich world Goerge R.R Martin has created.

These are some oldies but I'd love to see the Stainless Steel Rat or Thieve's World books turned into a game. Also Bill The Galactic Hero could make for a pretty entertaining game.

The comic series Preacher might be good..since I doubt a movie will be made since it has a pretty controversial storyline in regard to religionLand-0-Funk

A big yes to that. Best comic-novels ever. Not sure if you can call them books though.

i can easily list2 dozens of literary works that would provide a cool premise to a video game....however, the thing is, i don't see how the industry is capable of capitalizing on that. pop-novel and teen lit, maybe.......truly outstanding titles? no freaking way.

"What you think just 'cause a guy reads comics he can't start some s**t..i'll take all you f***ers on!"...sorry, couldn't resist

Eragon, and its sequels. It's a fantastic universe fit for an RPG or RTS.

The DUNE universe would be fricken awesome. I know they already have some, but if they put Relic and Ironclad on the job, an RTS-ish game (Kind of like Company of Heroes + Sins of a Solar Empire + Spice Mining sim. :p) set in the DUNE universe could be a masterpiece. As long as it's all real-time with a large expanse on operate on with alliances, and awesomeness...kungfukid

Yes! A Dune game would rock! There's a brilliant setting there, and it would be really interesting.

While the Dune setting is definitely ripe for another game, I'd rather see a different genre of game, such as an RPG.
