Now I love books just as the next man, but there are some which are so awesome that I think would work amazingly as video games. (movies like to butcher the source material to damn much IMO, just read about WWZ. I know, more movie industry bashing from me. I'll stop now.)
WWZ BASED ON THE BOOK!!! *end caps* Sorry for yelling that, but honestly, imagine dead island, but with a good story and a very interesting gameplay ideas such as playing as different people the main character is interviewing by visiting flashbacks. We could go from astronauts in space trying to detail what is going on to ground control to African soldiers having to bomb bridges with deadly gasses to kill the zombies. I would pay ALOT for a game like this. ALOT I SAY!
Robert R MCcammons Swan Song. You know the fallout series? Well Swan Song helped inspire it along with Stephen Kings The Stand. There is a HUGE debate still going on as to which of these books is more awesome. Many consider Swan Song better, it takes place about a couple days before WW3 then after. The characters, the action scenes and the story would easily make it one of the best games due to story alone. But with a good gears/alan wake type gameplay along with some freeroam could make it a GOTY easily. I also sugguest buying the book on the fact that it is completely awesome.
Good Omens, Basically, the antichrist is about to awaken, a angel and demon decide they like humanity as the motercycle riders of the apocalypse ride through the country side... that is just THE BACK OF THE DAMN BOOK! This would make an amazing point and click game like those made by tell tale. I want this BAD!
What books do you believe would make AMAZING video games and how could they be made into them?
