The Bourne first person shooter?

[GetGamer News]

I wish more authors would make video games out of their books, like John Grisham and J.D. Salinger.* Okay, on
second thought maybe not them, because those games would be very boring (I can see it now: you as Holden Caufield
guiding him through a series of awkward situations as you help him cope with life; it’s a side scroller).*
Book-to-video game franchises have seen the good (Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell), the bad (most Harry Potters), and the
bizarre (The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy text-based game, which you can still find
here).*



It is with that lengthy and unnecessary introduction that I get to the point of this post: Vivendi Universal has earned
the rights to make games based on the work of the late Robert Ludlum, who is most famous for the Bourne
series.* I liked the Bourne Identity (the movie; I’ve never seen the TV show), and I am really hoping that they do
a good job with the games, but since we know nothing, I have nothing but hope.



GameSpot has a great interview with Drew Markham, who is the executive producer for one of the untitled games.* He
answers the first three or so questions, but afterwards he pretty much says “no comment” in ten different ways.*
Very educational, indeed.
