Les Misérables: The Game of the Book is a faithful adaptation of its source material in spirit, as well as an enjoyable interactive experience in its own right. At approximately ten hours to play through - or more depending on how much exploring you do during or afterwards - it's an excellent way to spend a few evenings if you enjoy a story that's more cerebral and philosophical than your usual game, whether you've read the book before or not.
Ever played a boss battle? A cosmic epic? Or an "end of the world" scenario? They can all be traced to the Theogony, also translated as Genesis of The Gods. This is the original "gods versus Titans" story, by the poet Hesiod, written circa 700 BC, and based on much older legends. Prometheus is the original hero. Typhon is the original boss battle. This is where the concept of "earth shaking" was invented! Now Genesis of The Gods is itself a video game, and gamers can play the story that started it all.
