Dave's Top 10 List Of Books From His Bookshelf That Should Be Made Into A Game

Eh, Ender's Game seems a little obvious.

Everything else though, pure gold.

Stop making fun of all our favourite lists on the forums.

Grok.

Another great list and thanks for making my April Fool's Day so much better.  Time to twitter some of this shit up.

Haha... brilliant stuff!  I'm all about a Webster's Dictionary video game.  I'd buy that for a dollar.

They made a wheel of time game if I am not mistaking.

Oh, right it's april fools day, that's why everything is crazy here.  I don't read books so I guess I can't say anything more.

@Endogene

Yeah, EVE Online is totally a good example for that :)

On The Road is a great book and that would be some book. I like the Army of Two pitch.

"East of Eden"? I could not see how that could make a game at all! And "On the Road"? Totally impossible, I hardly know what's going on as it is. I want a Catch-22 game, and every level you play as a different character. Plus, it is actually impossible to complete.

Lando FTW!!!

This game was has already been made. It's called EVE: Online. BioShock is its sequel.

i laughed

Number 4 is probably the most hilarious thing I've heard in months.

insanebear.com - A site about video games and video game culture.

Stranger in a Strange Land was about a human raised by Martians... duh, still liked to "GroK" people though.

5. Jack Kerouac - On the Road

One part Army of Two, one part Interstate '76. It's your job to cruise across the country with your buddy picking up a varied amount of power-ups  while being very bro-ey.

I love it. #1 is deserving because of the rich smooth taste of a Colt 45, mm good.

Ender's game is getting an XBLA release, in the form of a battleroom shooter. Urgh. By Chair Entertainment, I think.

To me, The Sword of Truth Series (Terry Goodkind) and The Song of fire and ice (George R R Martin) sound like perfect series to get turned into games.

Ender's Game could be a pretty badass game...I mean not a literal translation of the book, but the game they play in the book(name escapes me) would be pretty awesome in video game form.

Interesting list.
I gotta say, though, that 'grokking' in Stranger in a Strange Land had nothing to do with physically changing them. Grokking is just complete understanding of a person or concept. It's very deep.
And also, Ayn Rand is an awful writer. If you've actually played through the game, you know that the game is a criticism of Rand's philosophy, because the libertarian utopia portrayed in the game didn't work, despite Andrew Ryan's efforts.

WHEEL OF TIME! YES! DO IT!

Would Catcher in the Rye be the first GTA? Remember when he wouldn't pay that prostitute?

Oliver Twist could be a Cooking mama rip off, except with gruel.

I love Ender's game

there was all ready a wheel of time game built on the UE engine.

Your interpretation of [i]Stranger in a Strange Land[/i] could work as a massive BioWare RPG or summin.

"You are Ponyboy, a half-man, half-tiny-horse that loses your golden luster should you not collect Sonic-style gold rings in ambitious and unique ways."

Show me where to sign and I'll publish it with my life savings.

nice #1
