What novel should they make into a game?

The Night Angel trilogy would make an awesome adaptation. There are a lot of things which would translate really well into games, considering most of the story is made up of action and features badass assassin's with magic.
You win... that would be a great game.Wierdguy said:
That sounds quite awesome. My idea was more of a Monkey Island, meets Fable, meets Trine based around Rincewind and some of his companions.Shoggoth2588 said:
I would also hesitantly agree with the Darth Bane idea though I certainly fear what Lucas would do with it.
Either Codex Alera or Dresden Files.
Can you tell I like Jim Butcher?
Either one of those world has enough crazy over the top badassery to carry a single game.
Alera for those who like pokemon, romans, and low-ish fantasy.
Dresden for those who like stealth, investigation, and urban fantasy.

Ninja'd by both
Currently reading through Xenocide, the third in the series (read the first many years ago), and holy shit yes. So many different aspects of his training would work as play elements. The zero gravity gun game in Battle School, all the way up to commanding the fleets in the end of the Formic War.Redlin5 said:
Playing as Pug or Tomas (which would be a bit over the top, I guess) would be sweet. Such a rich area for gameplay.SckizoBoy said:
Well LucasArts made Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, a Jango Fett game. And that was actually pretty damn cool. While Lucas may be a cockmouth, LucasArts has been a pretty decent game company (depending on your view of Force Unleashed, I guess.)G-M0N3Y said:
I'd love to see a Sim City-esque game set in the Culture universe. Where the player is the mind in control of a GSV or Orbital and you get to do whatever you flippin' want with your world and people will still live there.
Archipelago of floating mountains only traverseable by birdsuits? Sure, and I would still have room for the continent devoted to lava rafting.

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan, or at least a game set in that universe. Death in an Altered Carbon game would certainly have more consequences attached to it than just a slap on the wrist, since one of the major plot points of that book is the technology that allows people to be uploaded into new bodies when they die, so dying could very well cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars for a decent replacement body. Plus, I just think it would be awesome.
I'd love to see a game based on the Mortal Engines series. It'd probably be complicated with the massive game world that'd be necessary, but it'd be awesome. It'd be even more amazing as an MMO, with cities run by guilds
Relic and basically every book in the Pendergast series. It would play out in an L.A. Noire detective style of gameplay and it would be so cool...and incredibly scary at the same time.
EDIT: Holy crap everyone is saying "L.A. Noire style". You know what this means Rockstar...sequel!

Without Remorse by Tom Clancy. Only, push the story to more modern times, and make gameplay like Assassin's Creed. Scope out then kill the targets. Also the detective work involved in tracking down the top dog. Maybe add some flashback sections back to when John Kelly was a SEAL so that CoD players get off.
Moby Dick would be an excellent adventure game if accomplished correctly. They would have to SERIOUSLY dumb down the source material though, thats a long fucking book.
