Games are better than books, ok? And with Harry Potter and the upcoming release of the Lord of the Rings games, what better time to give some more books the video game treatment and hopefully bring them to a wider audience?
Plato’s (Sim)Republic
If they were feeling really lazy they could just switch Plato for Sid Meier and port over Civ 3, but a better idea would be a sort of judicial sim in which you play judges and juries and you try thieves and determine their places in a complex social standing. Naturally, it would never make it out of Japan.
Sophie’s World (Cup 2002)
The ultimate football sim. Play your team of enlightenment empiricists against the students of Plato’s Academy and watch the sparks fly. Optional Jean-Paul Sartre vs. Hippocrates DeathMatch mode.
Lord of the Flies(: Combat Evolved)
This would be a gritty first-person shooter for all those hormonal teenagers who buy games like State of Emergency. Partake in vicious hunts and unlock a whack-a-mole style ‘crush innocent-but-annoying-and-fat people with rocks’ minigame.
(Medal of) The Red Badge of Courage
Instead of being brave and fearless in the face of dire peril, play at running away. Comes with classic ‘brave Sir Robin’ soundtrack.
(Parappa the Rapper in) Live from Death Row
Make your character move to the funky beat of moralising whinings from cop-killers.
(Super) Wild Swans (Ball)
Control oppressed Chinese women trapped in balls by evil Communists as they try to reach the goal of the free world, or a quick and painless death.
(Legacy of Jesus:) Bible (Omen)
We will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
(Super Mario) Brave New World
Stomp on clones and try and climb up through the social strata with a jet-pack on your back, washing walls clean of neutral magnolia paint.
Romeo & Juliet (: The Precursor Legacy)
Running around Mario 64-style has never been so much fun, especially with a fourteen-year-old girl clinging on to your shoulder. Try not to take poison if you can’t find an orb, though.
Frankenstein(‘s Pro Skater 3)
The controls may be lumbering, and the moves near impossible, but fall over and watch the body parts fly!
(Grand Theft) James and the Giant Peach
Gives the word grand a whole new meaning. James never thought whose the peach was, did he? Oh no. He didn’t take no s*** from no-one and neither will you as you roll around, humorously crushing innocent bystanders in a mouldering fruit. Get it on Xbox or PC and play mp3s out of a great big siren on the top where the stalk usually is.
The Chocolate War(: Code Veronica)
Gasp in terror as you complete Archie's psychologically devastating assignments late at night. Complete the game in under 3:00 quickly to see the *real* picture of Emile Janza. Rated 18.
anyone else got any ideas??

Hannibal's Revenge: This time he's out for dinner:-
First person RPG in which the player stars as the infamous Hannibal Lecter. Roaming the streets of London (shall we say) looking for "fresh meat." The player can wonder the streets of Leicester Square, picking up girls (or boys, whatever your preference) outside Odeon on a Saturday night. Armed with nothing more than an overcoat and a toothpick, our man Lecter must glide through London picking out his victims before the stroke of midnight.
Ok lack of books, mainly because I don't read them.
