I've read the first three Halo novels along with the fourth, Ghosts of Onyx. All were at least decent and engaging books. I also perused the Mass Effect tie-in Mass Effect: Revelations. It was so delicious. It was like discovering Star Wars for the first time again, only many times better. Legendtaker117 10-22-2007, 11:18 PM Im currently reading The Fall of Reach(halo book) PacManPolarBear 10-22-2007, 11:20 PM Read the StarCraft novels. They were pretty good, if a bit short for my tastes. The WarCraft and Diablo ones were crap though. Digitalistic 10-22-2007, 11:43 PM The Starcraft novels weren't bad. The first one was great -- basically a printed version of the SC story done War of the Worlds style. OtherOne 10-23-2007, 12:25 AM I've only ever read the starcraft novels. They were alright I guess, I only ever got through the first one though. unlikelybannedname 10-23-2007, 12:47 AM Indeed I have, good sir.

It was so delicious. It was like discovering Star Wars for the first time again, only many times better. guess we're in the same book club. I liked Ghost of Onyx more, mainly because it deals with the spartan 3 project, and the thinking of spartans as disposable weapons, just more engaging of a novel rather than Mass Effect, though the world seems much more impressive and I can easily see movies, tv shows and future games stemming from the central idea. grunt birthday clown 10-23-2007, 06:59 AM i read the halo boxed set (fall of reach the flood and first strike) they were great and ill soon order ghost of onyx and contect harvest wich will take about a month to arrive here Garwalker 10-23-2007, 11:03 AM I've read the first three Halo books as well. The first video game book I ever read was the Resident Evil books. Possibly the worst read I've ever had. Duff 10-23-2007, 12:36 PM I have read the original three Halo novels and the old Mortal Kombat novel, and I thought that they were all good... Silverback 10-23-2007, 12:43 PM What's the reading order for the Halo books? I was going to buy the first one the other day, but couldn't remember which it was - 'Fall of Reach'? Duff 10-23-2007, 02:52 PM 1. Fall of Reach 2. The Flood 3. First Strike ... then the newer ones, but I have not read those yet... SWSilentkiller 10-23-2007, 06:01 PM the order is: 1. Fall of reach 2. the flood 3. First strike 4. Ghosts of onyx and the newest one to come out on the 29th of the month, I think it is, Contact Harves. Also I have read the mass effect book and enjoyed it and hope they make a sequel. Oh yeah I have also read a warhammer 40k book called the Ultramarine Omnibus which is actually 4 books in one. I would recommend it however I must warn that it gets violent, very violet. Silverback 10-23-2007, 08:42 PM Cheers guys, I'll check them out.. ;) yourshadow 10-23-2007, 09:57 PM I read all of the halo novels except ghost of onyx. They were pretty good. Anaris82 10-24-2007, 02:30 AM I've read all 7 Resident Evil novels by S.D. Perry*, the Mass Effect book, and most of the first Star Wars: Republic Commando book. *None of which were the novelizations of the shitty movies. |
