Resident Evil: Caliban Cove is a very fun book from S.D. Perry. This is an original story that takes place between the first and second Resident Evil games. It is really cool that Perry was allowed to do this, and it gives a little insight into what Capcom thought of some of the characters inContinue reading “Exploring Resident Evil: Caliban Cove’s Great Original Plot”

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy, a Great Book by S.D. Perry
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy is a novelization of the first video game. The book was written in 1998 by S.D. Perry. She wrote all of the books in this series, and I like the way she tells this story. Just like the other book I read from this series, several viewpoints are used toContinue reading “Resident Evil: The Umbrella Conspiracy, a Great Book by S.D. Perry”
Resident Evil Zero Hour, A Wonderful Book by S.D. Perry
Resident Evil: Zero Hour was written by S.D. Perry in 2004, and is a novelization of the video game Resident Evil 0. I’m starting with this one to get it out of the way, since it messes with the continuity of the book and video game series. Perry acknowledges this at the beginning of theContinue reading “Resident Evil Zero Hour, A Wonderful Book by S.D. Perry”
DDR: A Spectacular History of an Arcade Game
When I first heard that Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) was going to be the subject of a book from Boss Fight Books, I was a little skeptical. I was only familiar with a handful of the games, and assumed the series was a fad. What I was expecting from the book wasn’t what I got.Continue reading “DDR: A Spectacular History of an Arcade Game”
EverQuest by Matthew Smith | A Wonderful Book
It has been a while since I’ve read a book from Boss Fight Books. I picked up EverQuest by Matthew Smith because I was interested in learning more about the game. This wasn’t a game that I played as a kid; I first played it in the early 2010s. I was aware of the gameContinue reading “EverQuest by Matthew Smith | A Wonderful Book”
An Update to the Landmark Video Game Series
The Landmark series comprises six books about video games. The University of Michigan publishes these books. The series started in 2013, and new instalments have been infrequently published. In theory, this is an excellent idea! Take a few games and write about their impact on culture or how they were influenced by the culture ofContinue reading “An Update to the Landmark Video Game Series”

A Review of the 7th Guest Novel
This novel is very close to the story in the video game. The 7th Guest is one of the many games I didn’t play when I was a kid. I don’t even remember hearing about it. This is one of the instances where if you didn’t see a game in the store, have access toContinue reading “A Review of the 7th Guest Novel”
Myst: The Book of D’ni is an Excellent Book
The third Myst novel is my favorite. It was a wild ride, and I loved how the story unfolded. This book has a lot going on, and I like how it ties back into the first and second books. I wasn’t sure where the story was going, but this picked up quickly in the lastContinue reading “Myst: The Book of D’ni is an Excellent Book”
The Second Myst Book: a Slow but Good Book
The second book in the Myst series is a strange one. It is a prequel to the first book and the games. This book tells the story of Anna, Aitrus, and the fall of D’ni. It is a slow-moving story that saves all of the exciting parts until the end. For most of it, nothingContinue reading “The Second Myst Book: a Slow but Good Book”
