In this era, game developers are now publishing novels that go along with their games. I understand the need for some people to understand the back story, like ME: Revelations. But I think the soon Sextet of Halo Jesus novels is pushing it. Anybody want to sound off on what they think?

Have read all of the Halo novels and a couple really sucked. It really depends on the author. Eric Nyland was a genius and his three Halo books where awesome. The other three... not so good.

I think that there are enough Halo (jesus) fans out there to warrant writing books which further the universe.

I'm reading the Hellgate London book, only because I found it. It looked like a pretty good game that I might have wanted to play until I saw the review and seen that it was a broken game. So far the book is pretty enjoyable. I guess as long as they have good authors who want to write the books, and can put the creator's vision in writing, they will be good. Sometimes though you get people who want to write for a franchise just to cash in on it which is what makes them suck.

I have not read any of the mass effect book, any good?

I really enjoyed the mass effect book and the one halo book about onyx in which is there is a halo 4 its going to be based

Onyx FTW

I don't read the books unless I fall in love the game's story or if some recomends it.

I though there were only the four. What are the other ones?

Halo books in chronological order in their universe is:
Contact harvest
Fall of reach
The flood
First strike
Ghost's of Onyx

I know I'm missing one, anybody want to help.

Hell I remember reading the resident evil books, and well they are not that great, that being my only experience I can't really judge but if thats the average I don't even want to bother with it
