Books based off games

[negles]

Dantes Inferno is NOT based off the game.
Its been around for 100+ years.....

Some RE novels can be found here, if you really want to read them:

And then you have Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, even tho the Dante's Inferno game has nothing much to do with it.

Pokémon has a ton of manga and cartoons, but no traditional books as far as I know.
Dante's Inferno has a book, guess what the game was based off.
RE also has novels, I imagine you can find them on Amazon if you want physical copies.
There's also a Halo novel IIRC, I'm not sure if it's good though.

Conclusion, a quick Google should give you all you need.

Try around 690 years, give or take a few. And Inferno is only a single part of a larger work.

I almost killed something in a fit of rage after reading that particular bit of the first post.

I bet in a few decades there will be children thinking that The Lord of the Rings started with the movies.

Anyway, only game-based book I've read are the Vampire: The Masquerade novels. Although they're aren't based on video games, but a PnP game, but it still counts. Sorta.

You make Baby Jesus cry. No, seriously, they can hear him all the way to Cocytus and back.

I think I read one of the Mass Effect books when I saw it in the library. It was OK, I guess, considering it's still a licensed work even if it's from the writer of the game itself. There was the Alpha Centauri trilogy as well, which was kind of interesting.

The only books based off a game that I have read are the DOOM books from back in 1994.

I picked up the first two (Knee Deep in the Dead and Hell on Earth) back in 1998 or so, and read them while I was camping over the summer. When I finally had enough money to go out and buy the last two (Infernal Sky and End Game), they had discontinued them.

I spent the next... six years, give or take... hunting down every single used book store I could find, trying to find those two books. I think I finally found them sometime in early 2005. They were out of print, extremely rare, and Infernal Sky alone was going for about $60 on eBay. End Game was usually around the same price. I wanted to read them, but not that badly. I found a copy of Infernal Sky at a used book store in town here, and a copy of End Game about a week later at a used bookstore in a nearby town. I was so happy, I had finally finished collecting the novels.

A few months later, DOOM 3 was released. And, to celebrate it's release... they re-issued the novels. You could find them in every book store across the continent for a while. I was kind of choked.



Anyways. I don't know why I felt like telling that story. If you're interested, I'm sure you could download a PDF of them somewhere, or something to that effect. They are... interesting, but the last two novels deviate a fair bit from the series and really get into life after death and religious topics, particularly Mormonism. Still, it's a somewhat interesting science fiction twist that they put on it, and I really enjoyed them.

sorry bout that. that was a mistake on my part. i know that dante's inferno was originally a book derived from the epic poem. i guess i meant vise versa also. games bases off books
