There has always been a close relationship between literature and video games. And it should not surprise us. Many books make for excellent video games. Something that is demonstrated by the port we will have this month of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, by Harlan Ellison. But for every work that is explicit and obviously a literary adaptation, there are several that are not. And today we want to talk to you about that<\/strong>. About five video games that, despite being quite well-known, you might not have realized are based on novels. And in fact, all of them are quite famous novels.<\/p>\n\n

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl<\/h2>\n\n\n

We start by cheating a little because it is true that this is the most well-known case. Although it is not in the name, it is evident that the inspiration for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga is Roadside Picnic by the brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky<\/strong>. This does not mean that many people are not caught by surprise: some believe that its main source of inspiration is only Stalker, the excellent film by Andrei Tarkovsky. Which also shamelessly draws from Roadside Picnic.<\/p>\n\n\n
