The Bourne first person shooter?

Jason Bourne

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.
