10 Stephen King Novels That Should Be Video Games

2) The Stand: Post Turn Based Strategy

- In the war of Dark and Light, which side will you command? The year is€..well I don€™t know. Whatever, not important. The important thing is, the population of Earth has been reduced to only a few thousand stragglers by a bio-engineered super flu.As the end times come upon humanity, good and evil will gather their forces to battle for the souls of those who remain€.or something like that. It€™s never really clear. Anyway, you may choose to play as either Grandma Moses, refined southern lady of light or Randall Flagg, total fucking rock star of evil. Once you choose your path, you must build your city, prepare your forces for the battle, and eventually wipe out the enemy. Unfortunately, if you play as Randall Flagg, you always lose, because God always drops a nuke on you.

3) The Green Mile: Construction and Management Simulation

- Death Row doesn€™t run itself, you know Death Row, much like an electric chair, is a finely tuned machine that runs on efficiency and human sacrifice. But, to maintain such efficiency, someone has to keep everything in working order. Change guard shifts, keep the prisoners happy, impress the governor with perfect executions, build and manage secret passageways for circus mice, and avoid pissing of Tom Hanks. In this true to life prison simulator anything can happen!

4) Misery: Tower Defense

- She is coming for you! Can you hold her off long enough for your legs to heal You are Paul Sheldon, author of a successful series of novels. During a seriously poorly thought out midnight drive through blizzard, your car crashes. You find yourself waking up with several broken bones in the house of crazed superfan, Annie Wilkes. Annie€™s obsession has become dangerous, and she has decided to break both of your ankles with a hammer. Help is on the way.It must be. But, can you keep Annie out of your room until it arrives? Set up traps in the house, use painkillers to slow her down, do anything it takes to keep her from bashing you to bits in this reinvention of the tower defense genre.

5) The Dark Tower: Action RPG

€“ One man must choose a path for us all In the time long after the apocalypse, the world is a strange and dangerous place. Realities cross over. Time has become soft. And what€™s left of the world is a three ring circus of insanity that you must cross in order to reach The Dark Tower. As Roland, the famed gunslinger, you must trek across the desert, travel through time, battle characters from parallel realities, and eventually kill the man that betrayed your father. In this action RPG you are presented with hundreds of hours of gameplay in which you can explore any number of realities, meet strange and interesting people, kill those people, then meet them again, collect or create an array of powerful weapons, and help or hurt those that still live in the wasteland. The choice is yours.
