do you read book based on video game?

back in highschool i would hear kids talking about how good the Halo books were, so they must be good right?

[Ack]

I read the Doom books. The first one actually followed the game to the point you could name levels off the descriptions in different chapters.

I read books ABOUT video games. I dont think I've read a fictional book in like 4 or 5 years now.

I've read most of the Halo novels, which I enjoyed. As long as you like the concept behind the video game, the books should be interesting to you. That and a good author helps, too. Haha. Also, I read a few Starcraft novels that I liked as well. So I would say find a video game you like that has novels based on it and you will probably like the novels.

I have a few of the old "Worlds of Power" books. I know I've read "Blaster Master" and "Simon's Quest" at least a couple of times each. They weren't great, but they were fun.

There were also a couple of "Might and Magic" books in the mid-nineties. I think they were licensed books, but didn't really have anything to do with the games. I actually really enjoyed them, but there was supposed to be a third one that never came out.

I often read book I think SHOULD be made into videogame. Like the Master and Commander series.

I read Halo:Fall of Reach. The prequel for the first game i think. Was pretty good in describing the origin of master chief.

I read the first Starcraft book and liked it, but that was back in probably middle school, so I don't really know how I'd feel about it now.

I read a Warcraft novel when I was into Warcraft III. Of course, the rich mythology of the game mean that the novel had a lot of substance, and I enjoyed it a lot. I've always assumed that books based on more action orientated games would be a bit pants. I've read the one based off Perfect Dark Zero, and that was quite pants.

However, I'm thinking about getting one of the Gears or War books as I would like to see what could be done with a story like that.

Furthermore, has anyone read any graphic novels based on games? There's been quite a few!

When I was in elementary school I read a novel based on Mega Man. I don't remember if it was any good though.

And recently someone is attempting to translate the novel based on Mother 2 (EarthBound). LINK HERE. Can't wait to read that one.
