Books to games

Well, the post-movies Star Wars novels would be good to see.
The Shadow over Innsmouth, an H.P. Lovecraft short story, styled after RE4 would be pretty awesome.

A GOOD WOT game would be interesting...Or a Wizards First Rule game...on second thought, why ruin good literature?

I wouldnt mind seeing a good bleach game that actualy follows the storyline or if only this game actualy would work Death Note also

Alternately, it could be a rather predictable RTS (constant warring between the three world factions).

That would ruin it. Part of the experience was the question of whether or not the other factions existed and if they were actually at war with each other.

Argh; completely forgot about that. Good point. 1984 is a very deep text to work with, I imagine, so it'd be hard to see anything done of it without dumbing it down. Well, guess I'm back down to one idea.
Ooh, but here's another one, then. World War Z. Probably more from concept than plot, but it could come across as a first-person (possibly with RPG elements) game having the player seek refuge from the undead horde.

I'm fairly certain the opposing faction existed and the war was being fought without the intention of ever winning or the fear of losing. The wars were fought in order to consume the products of working, in order to ensure everything was scarce. The only question for me is were the bombs that often landed in Airstrip One actually being fired from one of the other nations, or simply launched by the Party themselves.
