Gears of War Prequel Hits (Book)Shelves
Looks like it takes a whopping 352 pages to fully detail the rich and layered world leading up to the events as seen in the behemoth gaming success Gears of War. The Epic Games title was tops on a lot of people’s favourite list and garnered rave reviews from critics and gamers alike. A prequel novel entitled Gears of War: The Pendulum Wars — The Battle of Aspho Fields (nice and concise, I like that) is in the works and is already available for pre-order on Amazon . Those of us in North America will have to wait until August 2008 to get our hands on a copy, though UK fans might be getting a break as early as February.
Not even for the low low pre-order price of $10.91 (CDN) can I be enticed to spend cash on glammed up fanfic. Before I get my head chewed off, I have nothing against fanfic per se, I just find it difficult to get that invested in the characters and mythology of a video game. I try to consider what I would think of the book if I had no connection or knowledge of the game and nine times out of ten, the conclusion is that it’s complete and utter trash. But hey, if push comes to shove, I’d rather read a gaming book than be forced to sit through yet another Uwe Boll movie…
