And so the Mods don't smack me for low content, here is a picture of a duck.

Drew Karphyshyn has done good work with Mass Effect and Star Wars books set in the Old Republic.
I did not read his star wars books, but did read 1 of the Mass Effect books. I found it unimaginative and it could not hold my interest.
I've been reading SF and playing games since i was a little kid and overall i have to say that games made into books are mostly laughable with the odd gem sticking out. The warcraft visual novel i found rather good but that is all that comes to mind.

A book about The Void, Pathologic, Far Cry and Portal being turned into books? I wouldn't read them!

Not a book based on the games themselves (Because that would just be silly), but I'd absolutely read a Half-Life tie in novel, because Valve wouldn't let something like that see the light of day if it wasn't good. In fact, I dare say I'd be extremely excited to hear that there was going to be a Half-Life novel, especially if it was being done by series lead writer, Marc Laidlaw.

And on a mildly related note, Dead Space: Martyr is awesome. I stayed up all night to finish that book, and it actually managed to coax an emotional response out of me by the end (Something books seem to have a harder time doing with me than other forms of media).

Dead Rising, and Bioshock have no real appeal to me story wise, gimme a new EVE Online book tho, (The second one is out!) and I am a happy man.

Early post, lemme get back to you after I read the Second Novel. The first one was great! I hope the second is as good!

If they turned Red Dead into a book, I'd definitely read that one. ;) Or a movie, but then games -> movies have had a bad rep so far. :p
Halo books - most awesome.
The Star Wars Expanded Universe - especially the Republic Commando series - I actually discovered the books before I realized there was a game ..


Randomly, I'm just trying to imagine a COD novel ...
