What are some examples of books that are arguably better than the video game they were based on?

The only thing worse than a video game story is a book or a movie based on a video game.

Video games are cancer. They rot your brain. Steer clear from them.

There are books based on video games? Are any of them good or are they just cashins like movie tie in novels?

Assasssin's Creed has a long series of novels, a co-worker told me, they've made a good few for halo, judging by the /lit/ threads, and I saw a Rome Total War novel in the supermarket once.
They are mostly genrefiction books, sucking the underbelly of the brand name.
