HL i book form?

[KingPing_NOR]

Anyone know of any kind of book based on anything related to Half Life?
Be it biografi, novel, history, story, anything?

 

[SMT]

Well, there's the Prima books that are being published (eventually) regarding Half-Life 2. Not sure about anything for HL1... were there strategy guides for it?

 

[Silent-]

I remember some site having the whole HL1 (HL,BS and Op4) story...
don't remember which one that was, unfortunatly

 

[[sl@yer]]

There's the official Prima strategy guide for HL1, and a Versus Books official HL1 Perfect Guide.

 

[KingPing_NOR]

Idident mean strategy guide, or walk through, but like a normal book that you can read. Like the one you borow at a library.
Stupide of me saying everything :monkee:

Try this site (The Lambda Project). It makes a few things up to fill in the gaps...and makes many assumptions, but it seems to give a good account of the story. I think it might be a site for a mod or something, I couldn't work it out, but it is based around the Black Mesa incident and includes aspects of the HL and Op4 story.

Uh, this site says the G-Man is the Admin, when he's not.

I know! As I said, it assumes certain things, that we now know aren't true. But when it was written, I don't think there was anything to say that the gman wasn't the admin. It's one person's take on the storyline, and isn't official or completely accurate, but seems to give a good account of the story.

Wasn't a book called "The Mist" one of the inspirations for the events in HL1?

Oh, and as for that Lambda Project website, I know the author, and he wrote that thing like two years ago. He just hasn't bothered to change it.

Yep...very losely. "The Mist" is a short story by Stephen King. From the blurbs i've read, it is about a mist that engulfs a town, apparently caused by a top secret government research project (the Arrowhead Project) and creatures such as tentacles arrive with it.

Yep it was a short story by Stephen King...but it's mainly about a bunch of people who get trapped in a store while alien creatures are coming out of the mist (don't remember it well now haven't read it since the 80's).

very loose

edit: slayer beat me

 

[Dr. Freeman]

there is a book..something along the lines of "The making of" for the Half Life series which i am interested in.

hmm.. i'll probably browse the chapters first to see if its worth the cash

Sounds like FF9. :dozey:

Half-Life in book form would be hard to write, especially if the writer wanted to make it a great complex book. It is better suited as a game. All in my opinoin of course.
