That book would make a great video game!

The Harry Potter BOOKS, maybe? I dunno. Come to think of it there aren't too many written stories that seem to translate well, directly into video game form.

If done right, the game from Ender's game
First thing that popped into my head. An entire game about a school system out to get you with ever increasing difficulty and a huge number of modifiers for team play online. They could use the "Deadspace" gravity physics, and the command wheel from "Mass Effect 2", even going so far as to add new units with unique abilities, like grenades, jet packs, and shield generation.

I really can't think of any books that I've read that would be implemented very well as games.

MAYBE Lord of the Flies. If only if there was a mini-game that allowed me to kill Piggy over and over again.

Actually now that I think about it, there never was a real Twilight game that I've seen. Other than that Scene-It? game for the Wii that has the title slapped on it.

You'd think a franchise like that would make games for it considering it's success. Even if the games would most likely be really crappy $20 budget titles.

Battle Royale would make a great online game, I think, and if someone could do it really, reaaally right, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon could be an awesome survival-horror game.

Dante's Inferno, of course.

It could be done better still by following the poem more and have it be a survival horror game.

Deltora Quest.
You are so right. I would love to play that game and It fits so well with combat sections, stealth sections and puzzles. I would totally buy that.

I'd also like to see the Darren Shan saga made into a survival horror game. The atmosphere in those books is incredible.
Ouu, there's an idea, I haven't red the deltora series for years though.

A satirical mass-effect clone built around the "hitchhikers guide" universe.
I would never leave the house again.

Wheel of Time could potentially be a good game (it has more than enough lore to draw off of), but the magic would be hard to nail.
There is a Wheel of Time game.It was released in 1999

Alot of steampunk books, for I think they're using the steampunk universe at all, it's fun, creative and can be manipulated into the wildest things.

Hitchhikers guide :D
(I mean a new one, not the hardest text adventure in the universe.)
It would make a sweet RPG

I'm currently reading A Song of Ice and Fire...amazing books so far. It would need to be 18+ or even adult rated, as the books have quite a bit of adult material.

My immunology text book.

No think about it.
A RTS game that involves the human immune system.
Producing leukocytes, altering their type.
Selecting the best immunoglobulins.
Fighting off bacteria. Virus infection.
A special sub-mission where you get a allergy.

I could be pretty cool.
The cover is already pretty video-game-ish

How about The Stand? I think it would make a cool RPG where you could decide to be good or evil. You could go with Flagg in Vegas or Redman/Abagail in Boulder.

You could even translate that into an MMORPG but that would probably suck.

I still want Waiting For Godot: The Game, using the Unreal3 engine for tense, cover-based waiting action.
Play as the enigmatic Lucky; press X to think!

Scott Lynch's "The Lies of Locke Lamora".
Real potential for a deep, story-driven Stealth-'em-up set in a beautiful environment. Though I would fear that it would become too much of a Grand Theft Auto clone/Sandbox...=/

Mebbe this one is better suited for the tabletop gamers.
