Book Description
That was the only target set for those 20 or so young, ambitious, hilarious and unkempt creators. Lucasfilm GamesTM, soon to be LucasArtsTM, would become a legendary developer, not least because it was within its walls that The Secret of Monkey IslandTM was created in 1990. The best-known of the Point & Click adventure games, Monkey Island earned its reputation from its world of colorful, delightfully anachronistic pirates, its trademark Monty Python-style humor, and, quite simply, the fact that it revolutionized a genre. This book is an homage to the adventures of Guybrush ThreepwoodTM, pirate extraordinaire. But it also aspires—quite ambitiously—to explain why Monkey Island marks a pivotal milestone in the way stories are told through video games. It’s also an opportunity to look back at the tumultuous history of LucasArts and Telltale Games, to discover some voodoo grog recipes, to learn interactive pirate reggae songs, to impress at a party of 40-year-old geeks, and to discover one-liners as sharp as a cutlass (great for duels and birthdays).

Book Description
The bestselling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series! 2552. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117—the Master Chief—and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. The crew’s only hope of survival is to crash-land on its surface and take the battle opposing the Covenant to the ground. But they soon discover that this enigmatic ringworld is much more than it seems. Built one hundred thousand years ago by a long-lost civilization known as the Forerunners, this “Halo” is worshipped by the Covenant—a sacred artifact they hope will complete their religious quest for supposed transcendence, and they will stop at nothing to control it. Engaging in fierce combat, Master Chief and Cortana will go deep into the Halo construct and uncover its dark secret and true purpose—even as a monstrous and far more vicious enemy than the Covenant emerges to threaten all sentient life on Halo and the galaxy beyond…

Book Description
A la découverte de Halo et de ses origines. Halo. À la seule évocation de ce nom, une bande-son s’impose à vos oreilles et une cascade d’images défi le devant vos yeux. Tout un univers apparaît alors dans votre esprit. Bienvenue au sein de la série de jeux imaginée et réalisée par le studio Bungie. Halo, plus qu’un space opera incroyable, c’est le porte-étendard d’une communauté, la mascotte d’une marque, la licence la plus importante pour l’un des trois constructeurs de consoles du marché. Halo, c’est une passion pour Loïc Ralet qui depuis des années collectionne toutes sortes d’informations sur le jeu ou ses créateurs : coupures de presse, entretiens, vidéos, déclarations sur les forums ou les réseaux sociaux... Pour rédiger cet ouvrage, il a passé un an à trier ses notes, à décortiquer les niveaux des jeux et à interviewer les pères du Master Chief : Alexander Seropian (co-fondateur de Bungie), Marcus Lehto (directeur artistique et créateur du Master Chief) et Martin O’Donnell (compositeur des bandes-son), entre autres. Ainsi, il vous livre un ouvrage complet allant des coulisses de la création du jeu à l’analyse de son gameplay en passant par l’étude de l’univers élargi et, surtout, la rencontre avec les hommes et les femmes qui ont fait Halo, tel que Bungie l’a voulu. Découvrez, dans un ouvrage complet et documenté, les coulisses de la création de Halo et la vision de ses créateurs. EXTRAIT Si, aujourd’hui, Halo est entre les mains aimantes de 343 Industries, il n’en a pas toujours été ainsi. L’histoire de la saga du Master Chief est intimement liée à celle de Bungie, son créateur originel. À tel point qu’il est impossible de les séparer l’un de l’autre, quand bien même le studio a définitivement tourné la page et œuvre désormais à raconter de nouvelles histoires, dans un autre univers. Pour comprendre l’histoire de Halo, il est donc primordial de remonter à la naissance de Bungie et surtout au parcours de deux hommes, Alexander Seropian et Jason Jones. Car, comme souvent dans l’histoire du jeu vidéo, tout a commencé avec une simple rencontre. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Passionné de jeux vidéo depuis sa plus tendre enfance, Loïc "Epyon" Ralet rêve d’en faire sa carrière, mais oublie ce qu’il perçoit comme un rêve inatteignable une fois son Baccalauréat en poche. Alors qu’il se destinait au journalisme politique, il est approché par jeuxvideo.com en 2013, qui lui offre dans un premier temps un poste de community manager. Y voyant l’opportunité rêvée pour travailler pour le site qu’il suit depuis presque quinze ans, il accepte et quitte donc ses études pour aller s’installer dans le Cantal. Il rejoint la rédaction quelques mois plus tard et devient peu à peu le spécialiste Xbox de l’équipe. Désormais domicilié en région parisienne, suite au déménagement de jeuxvideo.com, il passe désormais ses journées à écrire des articles trop longs en sirotant du thé, confortablement assis entre sa femme et son chat. Une situation stable qui lui permet de cultiver ses deux vices, l’amour des sneakers et celui des gros robots japonais.

Book Description
For four thousand years, the Guardships have ruled Canon Space—immortal ships with an immortal crew, dealing swiftly and harshly with any mercantile houses or alien races that threaten the status quo. But now the House Tregesser has an edge: a force from outside Canon Space offers them the resources to throw off Guardship rule. This precipitates an avalanche of unexpected outcomes, including the emergence of Kez Maefele, one of the few remaining generals of the Ku Warrior race-the only race to ever seriously threaten Guardship hegemony. Kez Maefele and a motley group of aliens, biological constructs, an scheming aristocrats find themselves at the center of the conflict. Maefele must chose which side he will support: the Guardships, who defeated and destroyed his race, or the unknown forces outside Canon Space that promise more death and destruction.
