I liked this book, but it is an odd reimagining of Mortal Kombat. It also gets somewhat confusing near the end when the bad guys are trying to open a portal to Hell. The story from the video games is in here, but it feels like it has been put through a blender. The reasonsContinue reading “A Review of a Mortal Kombat Novel by Jeff Rovin”

It would have been better if we followed Arlene and Flynn, trying to find a way to get out of L.A. There are also more perspectives in this bookContinue reading “A Disappointing Entry in the Doom Series”
Doom: Knee Deep in the Dead is a wonderful novel | Book Review
How do you novelize Doom? A game where the developers famously didn’t care about the story. Well, you take the bare bones of a story from the game, add some more characters, and give the main character more motivation and backstory. It did take some time to get going, but this is a fun book!Continue reading “Doom: Knee Deep in the Dead is a wonderful novel | Book Review”
