So I was just wondering what some of you have been reading that you thought hey, this could be a cool game.

My favorite novels would have to be the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons. I'm not sure what kind of game it would be or how it would be done, but damn are those books amazing. (Just heard Warner Bros. picked up the rights for a movie. SWEET! Hope they get Guillermo Del Toro)

However I think the novel best suited for a video game would have to be Old Man's War by John Scalzi. Action packed with a ton of unique alien races and a good story. The whole trilogy would kick ass.

I'd also love to see Neil Gaiman's Sandman series be a game, once again I'm not sure what it would be.( The way things are going for Neil Gaiman we'll probably see this as a movie too. I hope.

So anyways let me know what you think, and recommend any good book despite whether or not you think it could be a game.

For novels the DISCWORLD series would make a great rpg, one that is very large(bigger then oblivion)-as for a comic book id like to see the manga Mahou Sensei Negima as a action adventuer or rpg-and the Air Gear manga would make a good fighting/racing/action game.

I think the 30 Days Of Night books. They were made into a movie so why not a game? It would really be cool.

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series would make a great MMO.

Hellblazer

A decent game based on the Hellblazer series would be pretty awesome. I'm still trying to erase the crappy Constantine game from my memory >_>.

Oh and if it does happen, he has to stay Liverpudlian. It just wouldn't be right any other way.

Did they release a constantine game? never heard about it. Well maybe it was for the best I didn't know about it depending on your opinion. Might have bought it

The Xanth novels would make for a great action RPG.

For comics, anything Jim Lee has drawn, assuming he draws for the game.

Yeah, it was based on the film adaption. You would be wise to avoid it...

I'd like to see a good Spawn adaptation using the graphic novels. I dont want to just run around and shoot and once in a while fight a big guy. I want to get to use the various powers and fight multiple villians. Spawn was always my favorite comic book along with X-Men and Alien/Predator comics.

The Deathstalker books would make a great game. Also if there were a way to make it work I would really love a Belgariad game.

I'd still love to see a great spawn game, do the series some justice.But somehow with so much great material it still manages to produce nothing but garbage, I doubt anyone even has the guts to try another game.Which is a shame since some of the new spawns(hellspawn,Architects of fear,Armageddon)are totally badass. Someone just needs to rework the story.Give it the Dark Knight treatment.

I've heard [but haven't read, yet] a lot about the Planet Hulk series. That'd be pretty good.

And Batman: Arkham Asylum. Wait a minute...........:P

A Flash game would be nice. I wonder if DC Universe will allow us to have that power to be incredibly fast? >_>

I'm sure flash is in that game, though.

How bout a game based on Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Steven Barnes book the Legacy of Herot. If you have had ever read the book would be a great action/horror game. Or Starship Troopers, the book by Robert Heinlien not the movie (although I got the say the movie had its high points, Dina Meyer anyone) the book focused more on Mechs and the like think it would be fun as heck to power jump and drop a tactical nuke down a bughole while dodging plasma blasts.
