10 Books That Would Make Great Video Games

Fans of the epic fantasy series have become accustomed to disappointment. An underwhelming major studio attempt at turning it into a blockbuster action film, the recent abandonment of the promising TV show, it seems that Dark Tower fans can't catch a break. Perhaps then, the saviour of the franchise could come in the form of an impressive video game.

The blend of fantasy, sci-fi, and western genres that Stephen King's novels create is begging to be an interactive landscape. Mid-world has so much character and identity, and the chance to be a part of it playing as the Gunslinger Roland Deschain would be an absolute treat for anyone picking up a copy of the title. It would have to deliver a large budget and scope, but there is no denying that the final product produced would be worth every penny.

There has always been a discussion of acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro having the perfect eye for adapting this franchise. It helps that he clearly desires to be involved in the gaming industry, as we've seen from his partnership with Hideo Kojima. He would be the perfect choice to helm the reigns of this fantastic franchise.

Gaming is perfect for adapting properties, as many worlds and stories require more than just being able to be seen; they need to be explored. The Dark Tower is a perfect example of a property that would be better suited for a video game over film or TV.
