review 1: Another of Universe's “1001 blanks you must blank before you die” titles, 1001 Video Games to Play Before You Die is an interesting, if debatable, exploration of the last 40 years or so of video gaming, from roughly 1970 to early 2010. Sure to spark conversation among people knowledgeable about video games, the work is less useful as an introduction to the topic. While many of the titles chosen by the compilers are great games and evocative of the trends and evolutions of the technology, some are obscure to say the least, a few being only published in Japan, which can make getting a hold of them a bit difficult. This is particularly true with the earlier titles. Still, 1001 Video Games can provide the reader with some nostalgic discussions and recollections of favorite... more games and recommendations for others that they might have missed.
review 2: From the spawniest of Gamers to the most evolved, this is the V. Game Bible. To be honest there's a a couple entries missing (though barely any) and a few entries that I was rather surprised to see in there, but this book is essential. The perfect reference guide for when you just want to check up on a game you're thinking of getting (though nothing in this edition post-2010, hoping for new edition in a few years). Your gaming library will burst at the seems after reading this book, a must-have :) less
