American progressive metal band Dream Theater are set to team up with Turbo Tape Games to turn the story from their latest studio album "The Astonishing" into a video game!
Doc Watson from GamersFTW writes: "So Dream Theater is releasing a game based around their new album, The Astonishing. It is pretty cool to see a different medium adapt and make the jump over to the video game format, but it got me thinking: are there other games that could survive the jump? I found five that could not only survive, but might even succeed in the video game format."
I always thought Linkin Park’s music video for Breaking The Habit would have made a cool manga/anime adaption, and I suppose a game too, now that you mention it. A lot of their music shouldn’t have even been put on an album though, let alone a game.
Intrigued to see what becomes of this. Sounds like a weird idea - and games of films often end up a bit lame. Fun though!
Interesting topic to write about, never figured gaming and music albums would be related
RUSH - 2112!! Can't see how this was missed from the list! :O Still a good list though (y)

This sounds really interesting. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for it.
This seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment, bands releasing games based on songs or albums. I think it's a great idea!
Dream theatre always has the best mind mess up albums. Always inspiring prog metal.
This album sucks lol
