Stay away from the book version of Command and Conquer:Tiberium Wars!

It makes the otherwise quite dark story into G.I.Joe, with Nod being random evil terrorist group, almost no mention of Kane (FUCKING KANE, who ranked higher on the bald villain list than Lex Luthor!!!), laser guns from G. I. Joe and the GDI soldiers acting like douchebags.

Hell, some fan decided to write a fanfiction to CORRECT and REPLACE this horrendrous thing, and surprisingly, it is quite good (even darker than the source material, which is saying somehting)

But most of the time, as with video game adaptations of movies, book adaptations of movies these suck balls. Mostly. Exceptions justify the conclusion even more.

thank for the tip

if you like a good story, get Mass Effect books.

have you read one?

yes

which one or ones

is it based on the game exactly or like a spinoff

The Resident Evil novels were pretty good. I've read Doom back ni the day as with Mortal Kombat and those kinda ruined video game books for me. I've heard bad things about the Halo books, too

Spin offs. And Tie in to the games. For Example, Some of the characters of mass effect books are in the games themselves. But the storylines of books do have an impact on the games themselves.

Well, when it comes to video game books the only ones I can think of are the Halo books, and I haven't even read them/played the series.

I can't find a StarCraft novel around my place but was able to download the Dark Legacy trilogy and it was amazing. They are good books and revealed some characteristics of a few characters in-game:



Also, the book reveals

When they finished downloading I felt happy. Wow, I am such a nerd

Yeah, the only books that are at the top of my list right now is the Halo series. I don't know if this will be all of them, but I know their are 6 of them with an "anthology related" book. Don't hold me to this, because I know I have seen this in WalMart (it's pretty thick), but didn't bother to pick it up.

So far, I have finished...
Fall Of Reach
The Flood
First Strike
Contact: Harvest
The Cole Protocol

I got one more to read, and that's Ghost of Onyx.

This past Christmas, I received a Halo Encyclopedia that is pretty nice to read for a while. Great art and depictions.
