What Happens When Games Collide With Literature?

[DanDeFool]

This sounds like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Damn! Ninja'd!), or Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.

Now THOSE might make good games. As for the rest, we'd probably just be stuck with a bunch of obtuse adventure games or QTE fun-fests like Heavy Rain.

Sorry. I just don't think this is such a good idea, unless you turn the source material inside out like they did with Dante's Inferno.

EDIT: Sorry. I don't know why I keep double posting.

Damn at work now so can't touch my Twitter account. Going to have to do it tonight, only downside is unprotecting my tweets, I hate doing that because of all the spambots. Ah well I'll just reprotect them when this is over, at least its only a day, can't wait to get at it

Edit: Quick Question are the titles allowed to use references or does it actually have to be the title of the videogame?

Did I do it right?

Edit 2: Oh I see now.

You have to unprotect your tweets? WHAT?!

So not only have I had to follow someone, I now have to unprotect my tweet?

Wow, this is great, I didn't think The Escapist would be against privacy.

I think as long as you follow Escapist's official Twitter account ( @TheEscapistMag I think it's called), you don't have to unprotect your tweets. Ask Spinwhiz though, I'm just guessing here.

Now, I'm not getting a Twitter account just for this, so I'm basically giving people ideas, and here's my possibly crappy one:

Pride and Mass Prejudice Effect.

And Zombies [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice_and_Zombies]?

Tried doing it with that, but I couldn't think of anything.

Prideful Plants vs. Prejudiced Zombies?

Thank you Spinwhiz. Much obliged.

This is fun, but I do not Twitter. Ones I'm liking at the moment:

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: The Rapture Story

Actually, come to mind, I do have a twitter, one I had to sign into once for a ridiculous class. I'll post them there instead. Adieu, off to be uselessly creative!
