Two interesting video game related links today:
- Ben Esch, who I forgot mention in my Winter Institute recap, but who I had a great time chatting with (and who witnessed me at one of my lowest points, my flu-ish plane ride to Utah) has a new book coming out, Sophomore Undercover. To promote the book, he did something interesting and created a video game. Help the nerd get across the locker room to use the bathroom! It’s actually quite fun. (Via Galleycat)
- Somebody made a whole gallery of video games reimagined with classic book covers. Some of these are great. I love the Grand Theft Auto IV cover. (Thanks to Anne for the link!)
I will now begin making a bookselling video game, kind of like these library games. Guess the book based on only the color of the cover and the last letter of the author’s first name!

Those video game bookcovers are great. I can’t figure out if they are by the same person who made the movie book covers that I am currently in love with here: http://spacesick.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-can-read-movies-series.html
I don’t think they are, but the style is strikingly similar.
