Halo Novelization A Bestseller

Posted by simoniker on from the waiting-for-pacman-novel dept.

According to Gamerfeed, the latest novel based on the Halo gameworld, called "Halo:The Flood", is a bestseller, cranking it up close to the Top 10 in the 'mass market paperback' category. Do people think that game novelisations, as discussed in this USA Today report, can be worth reading? Marc Laidlaw's CD-ROM novelization, Gadget: The Third Force, is at least one game-related novel I enjoyed a lot.

    Max Payne has by far the best dialog of any game ever, if anything deserves to be novelized its this.

    "There is a growing niche of original paperback novels based on games such as Halo and Diablo, written by respected sci-fi writers."

    Well, they were well respected.
