Ender’s Arcade Game
The idea that a company would be making a video game based on Orson Scott Card’s seminal sci-fi novel Ender’s Game made me feel a little uncomfortable, for reasons I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Until I read Joystiq’s post on the matter (potential spoiler if you haven’t read the book):
Turning Ender’s fictional game into a “real” one certainly makes sly sense within the context of the book, though we would be slightly concerned if the people on our Xbox Live friends should start turning up dead.
Ah, crap. You mean this whole time we’ve been playing Halo 3, we’ve actually been exterminating an entire alien race? Shit. My mom is going to kill me.

At first I thought the “game” referred to would be the one with the fantasy world and the giant and all that which actually turned out to be the Buggers trying to talk to him.
