	In Response To: Re: Doom Books, quick synopsis... (Soliptic) : Here's what this all really comes down to. : Number of Books based on DOOM: 4 : Number of books based on Marathon: 0 : There ain't no justice. That's just the thing, Marathon never needed a book series. Marathon is perfect as is. Now has anyone seen the "Myst" book series, they're like fifteen pounds each, and thats on top of all the reading you have to do in the games themselves. I think it's better that game developers work harder at incorporateing crucial plot details into game play. But I think the problem is that we are now in a transitional period of game technology. It's too advanced right now to accept the pages and pages of text like we found in Marathon, and it isn't advanced enough to tell the same kind of story with cinematics. So hopefully one day when the technology gets there the next Marathon could be just around the corner.
