Usually when a video game is adapted into a novel it's usually released around the time the game ships to stores. So it's unusual when a prose novel adaptation is released years after the game itself. However that's exactly what happen for id Software's 2004 first person shooter Doom 3.In February 2008, author Matthew Costello (who helped id with the storyline for the Doom 3 game) had the first of three projected novels based on Doom 3 released from Simon and Schuster. Now the second novel, Doom 3: Maelstrom, has just been released and is available in paperpack. The storyline has the game's Space Marine hero still on Mars as he discovers "the truth behind the shadowy research taking place within the very facility he is desperately trying to escape." There's no word when the third and final novel in the trilogy will be released.

Actually, this happened with a series of books based on Ultima Online 2. I bought the first one that came out a little bit before the game was cancelled, but the following two weren't released for about a year or so after the cancellation, which I found really odd when I found them, but quickly turned to relief that at least the series wasn't dead in the water. I still have to read the other two though :/Posted at 11:05PM on Apr 2nd 2009 by James Thompson
