OK, not a book, but I would love to see an original Planet of the Apes game.

It would become such a gimmick I'd think since it'd be more based around the movie then the actual book which is different in some important aspects. If done right it'd be excellent but ESRB would just slap an AO on it.

That all depends on who develops it. If they put emphasis on the novel and less on the movie, or just throw out Kubrick's ideas altogether (the more I read Burgess's novel, the less I like Kubrick's film) and use some creative ideas for the game play then I don't think it will be "gimmicky." Fahrenheit was a very good attempt at making an interactive film and was for the most part quite successful.

That's the thing though, it would have to be released through a digital download service for the PC, instead of the consoles who are bound by the strict ruling of the "kid-conscious" console cronies. I really do wish the ESRB would reformat its ratings to make it seem as if M-rated games are actually not for kids.

I Am Legend, not the movie, the book, that would just be kick ass! To me at least. it would be one hell of a Survival Horror.

-=HYPERION=-

by Dan Simmons

amirite?

"It is rare to find a series of books as imaginative, adventurous, and thought provoking as the Hyperion Cantos Series by Dan Simmons. In this series you explore worlds settled by humanity after the "Big Mistake of '08", as well as the Void Which Binds, orbital forests, and the Datasphere. You will become familiar with technologies such as the Hawking Drive, terraforming, deathwands, cryogenic fugue, Schrön loops, farcaster terminexes, the Gideon Drive, the fatline, and time entropy fields. You will meet the AI, the Ousters, the Shrike, and the Others. You will learn lessons from John Keats, Virgil, Ummon, Buddha, Aenea, and mankind's future epic poet Martin Silenus. You will realize failings of current organized religion and how these trappings could ultimately manifest themselves. You will become aware of the language of the dead, the language of the living, and the music of the spheres. You will finish the series wishing there was more, much more..."

Ender's Game. But not the entire book. Just the ending. Or like a prequel around the time of Mazer Rockham(?)'s win. Space Sim ftw.TH3_1NF1D3L

It's also my choice ;) Great Book BTW

Same but it would be hard to do the book as a game, mazer rackham is a good idea tho. Maybe a good single player LOTR rpg that has a good story cuz im sick of of the crappy stories.

Some of these have games but need new ones

Starship troopers - The book is so great yet no one knows it because most see the crappy movie which is an abomination of the book.

Do androids dream of electric sheep? - I want to hunt replicants.

Berserk - I want to see this, it will be awesome. Yeah it's a manga but so what?

The Odyssey - Yeah

The Little Prince as an adventure game.

The Slaughterhouse-Five could be an interesting experiment in open-ended gameplay (or lack thereof).

I want to see a Frank Herbert's Dune RPG, or even an MMORPG based off the books. There is so much material to work with it'd be awesome!

Chistopher Paolini's Eragon and Eldest and the third one when it comes out. The movie and game of Eragon screwed the story up big time. Like the movie though :P

The Dark Keep by Robert Edmond FPS or TPS

Fear by L. Ron Hubbard maybe in the style of the Nancy Drew games.

Mystara, DragonLance, Forgotten Realms, Ravenloftor Greyhawk...for a MMO. Then with an expansion you add Sigil and eventually all other worlds. Prolly could work a system so you need a level 20 character from each world in other to form something in Sigil or access some stuff...

Prolly would never happens, but heck, someone can dream.
