I have never touched a game relaed fiction book yet...the Assassin's creed one sounds like a good 'un though. Interesting stuff.

As I've not played it yet (waiting on PC release) it'll be nice to read the story via paper then experience when Ubisoft finally graces the PC with its release. Mass Effect books are quite good, there's actually a few of the sequel out I believe (or coming out soon), the new Elder scrolls book is suppose to be very good and actually outlays the next game. The Halo books are really well written, as too are the Warcraft ones. Can't go wrong with Diablo or Starcraft either (any Blizzard related book gets my nod, just because they work so closely with the authors etc). The Hellgate: London books are quite good too (on offer in Waterstones too I believe in their 3for2 section). There's a Bioshock book out soon (2nd Feb), which I really want to take a look at.

I've been dancing around the notion of getting the Mass Effect book and probably will now. The Star Wars EU stuff (especially the Thrawn trilogy) are pretty good on the whole, but there ARE stinkers out there and that's why I don't jump straight onto every game branded novel which comes out. I'm happy to get recommendations for my Christmas list though! As an avid – even obsessive – reader, I’m always on the lookout for decent books to absorb.

They're not bad light reading, and the first one especially really helped flesh out some events only hinted at or mentioned in passing during the game, such as Captain Anderson's first encounter with Saren.
