Even City of the Dead? I heard that one was actually pretty decent.

Insofar as the author stuck somewhat to the script of the game, yeah, but it still had a lot of his own wishlist in there, a few of his own characters, and his own scenario in it - the later ones disconnected from the games almost entirely

I mean don't get me wrong, they're trash, but at least they were entertaining trash

Is it worth noting that S.D. Perry is a woman? The Resident Evil novels are the only game books I've read, and really the only decent ones were the ones based on the games. Her side stories, or really any moment involving Trent, are awful. As far as I remember, he was just a mysterious info dump for STARS members and the reader.

Not hugely? It certainly wouldn't change my opinion on them (see; awful, but pretty entertaining)

Though it does make me wonder why she was obsessed with Rebecca Chambers, I put it down to the author having a crush on the character. Which may still be the case, I dunno.

I will always remember the one where the character facing a typical "do this, do that, twist this" puzzle to get at an item simply thinks "gently caress this noise" and smashes the cabinet with her gun.

See; awful, but entertaining ;)
