review 1: This book is one of the best books I have ever read. This genre is an history book that tells the about game history. The topic of the book is tell the reader about the history of gaming. The main idea is that this go's through the gaming history. What I liked is that it went through the history of the creators of the game. What I didn't like is that it took a long time to get to the interesting parts.What I also liked is that most of the creators had to go through hard times. What I didn't like is how the author described the creator. I would prefer this to people how love gaming and people how want to find out how these kind of people got famous.
review 2: A lot of fun. It takes you on a journey of video games from their inception with the creation of Pong (a... morectually no, there was a Space Game that some engineers created at MIT that predates the iconic ping-pong game) all the way to the multi-player and casual gaming recent phenoms. Some reviews had issues with the title, perhaps expecting a discussion about how video games eclipsed other popular forms of entertainment, such as television or film. That is certainly not what this book is. Rather, it is story about some of the giants in the industry, from marketers, to programmers to other visionaries associated with the genre. I would also recommend Tom Bissel's "Extra Lives" if you enjoyed this book. less
