In honor (ahem) of the release of Dante's Inferno, Joystick Division is running a piece entitled: "5 More Literary Classics We Could Ruin With A Game," suggesting 5 other great works of literature that could be re-imagined as a videogame - if approached using the same blunt object EA used to hammer Dante Alghieri's epic poem into a shoddy God of War clone.
Oh, and um... I wrote it and drew all the pictures. </self promotion>
A sampling:
4. In Cold Blood (Truman Capote)

Because as we all know, there's nothing convicted felons fear more than a diminutive, effeminate bow tie-wearing author lurking in the shadows.
