World War Z could become a video game

Max Brooks' influential book World War Z. could join the bursting genre of zombie survival video games.

A movie adaptation is already scheduled to release next year, and Siliconera reports that we might see an accompanying video game around June 21 of next year, too. Paramount Pictures has trademarked World War Z. under only one core classification: downloadable electronic game program, electronic game software, and video game cartridges/discs.

Paramount has broken into new territory with games like Star Trek, which Namco Bandai will publish next year.
