I am wondering if anyone here has read any tie-in novels to games? I have red a few.

For literature I am reading La Divina Commedia: Inferno (Divine Comedy: Inferno) written by Dante Alighieri like about 700 years ago. I haven't played Dante's Inferno but I think the game is sort of based on this book. If it really is then I will definitely buy the game and hopefully we get to play it in class. :lol:

Yes, it is Loosely based on the book. How faithful it is, I don't know, but it is based on the book.

Just as I thought and apparently I came up with an idea to make a video game based on Dante's depiction of hell, and then I noticed it was taken. :(

Maybe a Dante's Paradiso would be a great idea... :lol:
