My first project for Mrs. B's class was to read Franz Kafka's "Before The Law" (http://www.kafka-online.info/before-the-law.html) and then play the game adaptation of it by Brandon Brizzi (http://www.theoddmanout.net/games/beforeTheLaw.html).
This seemed an interesting enough assignment because I personally love this opportunity to compare the two side by side. Much like Bioshock, I feel like these types of games 1) lend credibility to the medium and 2) make it easier to analyze and address what exactly games can and cannot convey by comparing them to something topically similar.
If you want to participate, I greatly encourage it. So feel free to read this story and play the game before reading my analysis and then also feel free to debate with me in the comments section or via email at jdcrouch5@gmail.com.
