Books based on games
I am not sure how many of you read books based off of gaming series, but I certainly do.
Most recently, I have been reading the Starcraft books, in particular the first 2 books of the Dark Templar trilogy.
Anyone else into these kind of books?

I never really got into any particular series, although I did read Perfect Dark: Initial Vector. After I play Diablo and Diablo II some more I may check into those books. I've also got Halo: Fall of Reach, but I haven't started it yet.

Re: Books based on games
Of course. ^_^
I don't have them installed on this PC, but I'll bring them Monday and load them up. I haven't even played the first game yet so I may seem lost if we play that, but I've played a couple of hours into Diablo II so I think I know what I'm doing there.

Well, i'm up for it whenever you are! Monday should be fine, but we'll play Diablo I as a refresher for me...since I haven't played that in years!
As for Diablo II, I think my original copy is broken...but I did buy another copy some time ago, if I could only find it!
Diablo I, I know where it is however

I used to read a lot of Dragonlance when I was middle school, and that's based on paper and dice game, Dungeons and Dragons. Good stuff...I haven't touched it since then, though.

Re: Books based on games
LOL...remember the Dragonlance game for NES that was absolutely terrible?
I'm still amazed that such a terrible game has a cult following, even if it's only to mock it.

Re: Books based on games
The only books based on games that I have read, or really seemed interesting, are the fan fics that other people write for them. Sure, most are crappy and poorly written but once in a while you can find a really great one.

Some fan fics can be quite good, but the vast majority is sickenly sweet with fan pairings of characters and crap "won't u b mi bishi *~lulz*~ "
But yeah, some can be good.

Re: Books based on games
I just found out there's a novel based on Mass Effect, so I'm definately going to hunt that one down. Great game, and something I wouldn't mind checking out in book form.

Re: Books based on games
As I mentioned in a different thread, I bought this Manga based on Castlevania at a comic store yesterday.
Honestly, I never even knew that they made one until now!
Looks pretty decent so far.

Re: Books based on games
I don't think I've ever picked up a book based off of a game. Normally I read books that later turn into movies.

Re: Books based on games
I don't really read that many game-based books, tbh. I do have one of the Resident Evil novels, City of the Dead, but haven't read that far into it yet.
