ENGL 1337: Classic Literature Made Video Games
Books. Yeah, you know. Those hard things with words in them and few or no pictures? They’re not all about hobbits or boy wizards, and they aren’t all made into movies and then games. While Hollywood may absorb classic literature and secrete something that passes for a movie version and a game, some classic literature might actually make for good video games…if they skip the movie and stay true to the freaking book. Finally, being an English Major pays off.
“Classic literature” is a relative term, but I see it as stories that have stood the test of time and inspired other works for generations. And no, that’s not what I was told in English 101. Even if you have never read a book without the term “strategy guide” in the title, I’m sure even these stories sound familiar.
