Verdict: 9 As a reference book for
the Halo games this book is hard to fault.
Not exact matches
Its pretty funny how this company, made its name and made a
game that OUT CLASSES other
games like
Halo 4 and Call of duty Black Ops 2, which in my
books are for people who can't understand a picture
book
Since this is a reference
book, the amount of information available here doesn't quite match up to the
Halo Encyclopedia, but since this is a more focused
book, dealing only with the
games themselves, it still delivers an absolute wealth of information within its hallowed pages.
For the most part this is decent enough, but because this
book focuses on all of the
Halo games many of the images are taken from the early
games and look rather blocky and / or blurry when blown up to fit the page correctly.
But if you simply want a
book stacked with stats and facts, and happen to like the
Halo games, then you should already be ordering the Essential Visual Guide.
The
book is spread out across a total of 207 - pages, providing information on the enemies, locations, characters, weapons and technology of every
Halo game.
As somebody venturing into the formidable
Halo universe for the first time outside of the
games, I loved every moment of every page of this
book.
According to a press release, the
book will go in depth on the aesthetics of
Halo 4, including a look at the «characters, weapons, vehicles and environments» that make the new
Halo game so appealing.
When you have a franchise as big as
Halo that has spawned comic
books, novels, clothing, toys, TV shows and mini movies, sountracks, huge cosplay following, mobile
games, AAA
games, Esports etc...

The
Halo franchise has encompassed all sorts of media, from
games to
books to graphic novels.
But hey, there's some genuinely great stuff in the
book, too, including plenty of neat little tidbits of information that expand the
Halo universe a tad more, and it was pretty cool to see the Blind Wolves included, a creature intended to be in the very first
Halo game but never made it.
I agree about
halo 4s story, it made no sense unless you had read all the
books and side stuff away from the
games, which is fine, but i think the
games should focus on its path, and any think else just be an expansion on that When the main bad guy popped up, they spoke about him as if the player knew who it was so thats where it lost me.
These lineages can spread beyond
games: plenty of
book and film influences create imaginative patterns that are then sustained in the fictional worlds of
games — from the utter dependence of
Halo: Combat Evolved upon James Cameron's Aliens to the massive debt Dungeons & Dragons owes to Tolkien, Moorcock, and the other twentieth century fantasy writers.
On stage: Corinne Robinson / Jon Goff (McFarlane, action figure brand manager or something); Tobias Buckell (Tor
Books,
Halo novels author); Eric Nylund (Microsoft
Game Studios,
Halo novels author); Joe Staten (Bungie); Frank O'Connor (Microsoft, ex-Bungie); Graeme Devine (Ensemble).
If you like the story in
Halo games I would recommend checking out the
Halo books.
Beginning with the original «
Halo: Combat Evolved» (2001), the critically acclaimed and record - shattering series of
games have reinvented how people think about video
games and has since built a fan base of millions worldwide and inspired multiple New York Times best - selling novels, live - action digital series, comic
books, action figures, apparel and more.
«We're a big franchise now so there's always going to be a demand for
Halo things it's just that some of those experiences are going to be
books or
games or action figures or so on.»
«I'm a big fan of the
Halo story, always have been, and spent a lot of time reading the
books and playing the
games like a lot of people have,» says Grace.
Our Take I'm still a bit miffed about
Halo: Reach not making its way to this collection, but hey, anything that makes
Game Pass is a better deal is okay in my
book.
At the time, not many first person shooters were establishing worlds to inhabit like
Halo was, and not only did they write the blueprint for how to turn a franchise into a full - blown behemoth (countless
books,
games, and short films have been made around the franchise), they also influenced the way we play video
games with each other.
Like
books based on movies, TV shows, and other
games, the novels based on the
Halo games do their best to feel like they fit in with the shooters that inspired them.
It's being written by one - man
game tie - in factory William C. Dietz, who has also churned out
books expanding the Resistance, Hitman, StarCraft and
Halo universes.
