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.

    i remember my copy of spectre vr(years ago) came with a copy of snow crash. i actually avoided reading it for years, since i assumed it was a game novelization and it sucked. imagine my surprise when i actually did decide to start reading it one day...
