Are you game?
by morgan on Jul.30, 2009, under Brent Weeks and Joe Abercrombie
Video game novels are trendy. Warcraft, Halo, Gear of War & Bioshock are games with novel tie-ins out or coming soon. So, Brent & Joe, to hypothetically assume the luxury of spare time, is there any franchise out there for which you’d want to write a novel?
Or, even better… Joe, is there a video game novel that Brent should write? Brent, how about a video game novel for Joe?

Oh, this is too easy. I want to see Joe write Hannah Montana: The Movie (The Game) The Sequel: Hannah Goes to DEE-Troit, starring Eminem and Young Jeezy. It MIGHT get better reviews than the first one. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/972/972272p1.html

Thanksyous, Brent, but I could not take that project away from you.
If I could write any computer game tie-in, it would be for Thief. I think that’s a brilliantly atmospheric world.
