Video Game + Classic Literature Mashups

So, I recently finished Nick Cole's The Old Man and the Wasteland, which is a well written pastiche of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea crossed with the Wasteland Fallout series of videogames.
This made me realize just what a fertile ground such mashups are. Some of the more punny possibilities include
Of Mice and Mass Effect
Call of the Duty of the Wild
The Super Brothers Karamazov
Warcraft and Peace
To Killer Instinct a Mockingbird
Great Gatsby Theft Auto
The Red Dead Letter

The Prince of Persia and the Pauper? I dunno, given how the first game was Totally Not Aladdin, Honest, that seems like there would be little change to the story other than the addition of spike traps and sword fighting.
You know what? I'm fine with that, everything is improved by spike traps and sword fighting.

I get the reasoning for the name, but The Prisoner of Gannandorf would probably be a better title.

Isn't Dracula X basically Bram Stoker's Dracula but crazy already?

Presumably Bram Stoker's version will include a real estate deal subplot.
