Post by: THX on June 03, 2004, 03:57:50 PM: Book came out first. Never heard of a book being based on a videogame :p

And now to quote Airheads:
Quote
- "67 copies of "Moby Dick."
- "The movie or the book?"
- "They made a book outta that!?"

There\'s also Doom, Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros, and Silent Hill comic books.. among others.

Good movies. Hard Boiled is one of my favorites.

Post by: Ashford on June 04, 2004, 12:30:25 PM: Not walkthroughs...

Actual novels...

Some of them are based almost entirely on the game and some just take the name and create a whole new story...

Resident Evil, for example...
