Patterson plots computer games
James Patterson is looking to create computer games based on his novels, kicking off with a Women's Murder Club game, according to gaming website play.tm. The site reports that Patterson is collaborating with Gabriel Knight's Jane Jensen on the new titles, which it says he hopes will appeal to fans of his literary creations.
Patterson is quoted saying that the project will appeal to people who do not currently play computer games: "What I love about this project is the chance to widen the boundaries of what people can do on the small screen, sort of like what the Wii is accomplishing. We're going to give people who don't want to shoot things... Who prefer to use their brains... A chance to solve a really good mystery. This will open up a whole new arena to a lot of people who don't play games now."
