welcome to the simulation.

to all the people who think this is stupid and sad, illl tell you this, youre ignorance is totally seen. try it and then see if its gay or not."DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!!"

And i thought the people that read the WoW lore were pathetic... At least they're reading i guess.
They might learn some new words to insult people with on xbox live.

the whole idea of this makes me just... sad. i'm cutting myself right now. :(

This is abowt time. Finally, the wrold can see how we us gamers is smart too and stuff. our books is good reading just like them books that them people read too also. Glad it done finalley happened in that newspaper.

Honestly I have to say I have enjoyed these books when I read them. I do not think they are the be all, end all of fiction, but one of the big reasons why I play a lot of games is the back story of the world the game takes place in. I know I spend tons of time reading the lore for Warcraft and other MMOs I have played before. I find the same to be true of non-RPGs like Halo. Most times I wish these games had more backstory for me to delve into and I am glad I have that avenue with the Halo series since it just makes the games themselves all the better to me.

Hahahaha. I think it's fair to say that Halo is officially the most popular game ever.

The Halo books are great at expanding the universe. I think the story in the game is told well as it pertains mainly to the present course of the story. Versus having it be like a Sci-Fi show where they drop things in like, "Well in 2045 the combustion engine was banned," or "Ever since the Mars riots it's just not been the same."

In Halo they mention these things in passing as well but they don't seem injected in. For example the "Cole Protocol" that was mentioned early in Halo CE. It was actually fully explained in the manual if anyone read it but it went into more detail in "Fall of Reach." The books also present the stories in between the games if you haven't realized how characters from the end of one end up where they are in the next.

There are other examples in the game where they're more expanded in the books. But for the most part all the stuff in the games don't necessarily require you to look it up in the book. It stands alone on its own. It's just more fun for some people to learn more about their favorite sci-fi universes. I mean people buy Star Wars books (and games) and many of them deal with plots mentioned in passing in the movies.

Seriously.. why does everyone groan about the Halo novels? The are good light reading books, with interesting characters and back story for the games. Please don't complain or be all "oh god.." until you've read them, or just one..

Written by the guy who wrote the story and cinematics for the games?

So does it start off good, then get utterly fucking lost in its own colon in the middle, then get a bit better towards the end before killing off a shedload of characters for "LOL DRAMA!" and then ending with a cliffhanger (but only if you read it upside down) and begin smelling its own farts?

Nylund was a great writer, those halo books were actually good.

Alright we're done here; it's been a good go humanity. Guess next year ASS: the movie will win an emmy.

Halo: Noun Adjective

So how does this work, you read for a little bit and then they make you go back through the last few pages again?
