Probably the best example.
Also the Metro series.

Yup. Also Dune.

And Wheel of Time, but that game wasn't really notable, even if it was awesome.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is also based on a book, though more loose than the others mentioned

If magazines count Heavy Metal had a game. Though, I'm not sure if I would call it notable.

Tolkien stuff made some decent games.

Oh, the entire Shin Megami Tensei series owes its existence to a short series of novels written in the late 80s by Aya Nishitani.

I feel like there's a lot of Japanese stuff I'm familiar with but unaware it's based on books. I didn't know The Ring was based on a book until last year, now I wanna read the trilogy.

Ya but if you're talking about the mainline LotR games, they were based on the movies.

I guess The Hobbit counts because it came out way before the movies were a thing.

LotR Online was based more on book lore from what I heard. Same with the Shadows of Mordor games I think.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was the shit on Ps2.

I don't even like Harry Potter, but that Quidditch game on the PS2 was pimp.

There's a DinoTopia game for PS2 and Xbox and GBA.

The books are fantastic. The games are mediocre at best.

I played one on PC that had one of the worst pixel hunts I've ever experienced. You had to take a key from your inventory and click pixel perfectly on the hole of a chest. If you missed, your character dropped the key and you have to either reload a save or hunt to pick up the key again.
