did you actually read Atlus Shrugged? did you happen to realize at any point that Bioshock is basically an antithesis of Atlus Shrugged? lulz

I'm quite partial the Rangers Apprentice series. That could make a good WRPG. Also, a good Eragon game would be awesome.

I did and I think the beginning of Bioshock mirrors the Objectivism Rand talks about in Atlas Shrugged. Not to mention the Metaphor of Ryan to Atlas in bringing people with certain talents and powers (via plasmids) to a world where they can utilize them best. Ryan carries the weight of the people when he creates Rapture for them, similar to how Atlas is supposed to carry the weight of the world.

My 2 cents...

EDIT: another one: The Walking Dead or World War Z- Resident Evil

Lol, I remeber thinking whenever I read Ranger Apprentice, "This would make a good videogame" I guess Assassins creed is the closet thing.

Ender's Game anybody? In the book, there were several games: that virtual reality thing that connected him with the Bugger Queen, the war simulation that Ender played which actually turned out to be more than a war simulation, and those matches in the gravity room against the other teams (Dragon Team ftw!)

The Little Prince (i would guess it'd be sooo bizarre so i'd love to have Japanese devs making this sh!t :D)

Coraline (ooohhhh the movie was amazing. it has a video game, yes, but i want a ps3 game not a ps2/wii one)

Silence of the Lambs (who doesn't wanna play Hannibal Lecter?)

Robert Ludlum's (author of the Bourne series) The Cry of Halidon. daaaaammn that's a suspense/action/tropical exploration/mystery-solving/betrayal&trust book. i want thaaaat!

oh and ANY Sherlock Holmes book. that's sooo badass.

There was something else I was reading or watching...OH! Defiance would make a kick-ass video game. Like a free roam game, where you have to do missions to get food for your people, and survive German attacks. That would be cool.

I can understand not liking the Princess Lover anime. It's just too weird and very different from the game (which is better in every aspect). But why no Kanokon? Don't want to visit some white mountains? ;) But please, do not bring up Queen's Blade...watching the first 2 episodes just was...a painful experience. Though it was full of lulz.

...wth... you are aware Arkham Asylum is based off of a comic book of the same name, right? The video game is a combination of the plots of Arkham Asylum, The Killing Joke, and Hush (v1 and v2). LoTR Two Towers is a stretch, no?

Meh, I really enjoy kanokon, it's one of my favorite light hearted anime/mangas, anyways..

i thought it had way too much service scenes, but it was TVA, so they screwed it up badly by not being able to go too far but just teasing it to the point where I got frustrated and punched the monitor and broke my knuckles. anyways, so kanokon did have games, i gotta kill myself now.
