Lets just get a promise that we won't get the sequels to the books as well. I just couldn't stand them.

There's potential in the Shadow series (The one about Bean), but certainly not the drawn out, contrived Ender sequels.

Let me know when a FPS version of Catcher in the Rye drops, so the raping of my literary education is complete.

Hmmm, this is like some crazy telephone game or something, okay, now the next person has to try to turn some part of Catcher in the Rye into a game...

I'm sure only about 5% of high schoolers would like it.

I thought the single player was good fun. Multiplayer, however, not so much. Then again I got it free. Probably wouldn't have bothered otherwise.

"Undying" was/is a great game, but "Jericho" was a huge dissapointment to me. Since 1985 when I read the first his collection of short stories ("The Books of Blood", although released differently in the US), Clive Barker became one of favorite living authors. After "Everville" his books just didn't do much for me, but his early work (including the first two Hellraiser movies) remain some of my all-time favorites.
I just hope Orson Scott Card doesn't end up like Clive when it comes to games.

I'm worried for the game because of the 2D/3D thing. It's hard to properly represent a 3D space with a 2D frame. Most of the 3D games out there take some liberties and fudges. But that, alas, is the point of that whole section of the book, and what really set Card apart as a SF writer.
But maybe I'm over thinking that.

Orson Scott Card is a political/religious nutcase.

Though, you might want to take care with 'nutcase,' because most of his views are shared with other Mormons, and that's a dark paint to use with a pretty broad brush.
But, yes, I highly disapprove of and disagree with most of his commentary and non-fiction writing.

We all know that game was fucking amazing, though it being released when it was, and it having ass tons of bugs, tons of people were put off by it.

I always imagined an 'Ender's Game' game as taking place entirely in battle school. You play as a launchy and are thrust into a free-roaming version of the battle-school. Obviously you wouldn't attend class, because that would be a boring game. It would mostly involve the battle-room, starting with you controlling one character, then moving on to toon and army leadership. You would have to manage and gauge the potential of all your soldiers to make a formidable team.

And...it's a first-person shooter. Why would you do that to Wheel of Time? Why? It's like turning Lady Lovely Locks into an RTS. It boggles the mind.
