My wife often wonders what on earth I do in front of my computer all the time. I've given up trying to explain what it is I do...I just say that I'm working on my first book!
Hope you are well. Here's what I've found for you this week...

Yet another book review for you. Have you read this one? I'd be interested to know what you think if you have...
Title :
The Ultimate History of Video Games: From Pong to Pokemon -The Story Behind the Craze That Touched Our Lives and Changed the World.
Author : Steven L. Kent
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A good read, but make sure you read this first!
I'm a vintage game geek. I loved video games from my first Magnavox home system, through my Atari, NES, up to my PS2. I grew up in an arcade at my local shopping mall. I've not moved on to the current systems because life (mainly job and wife) kind of make growing up a necessity. However I've always had fond memories for those early gaming years. Now that you know where I'm coming from, it'll give a little background to my review.
This is a very well researched and written account of the birth and growth of the video game industry. I've read this book cover to cover and truly did enjoy the in-depth history and annectdotes that is put forth in the book. But I can't say enough how much I was really wanting this book to be THE definitive book on the video/arcade game culture. That should include far more photos and captures from the games themselves. This book lacks severely for photos at all! The book reads a lot like a text book, but I think some re-formatting to something even like Jon Stewart's "America" text would actually benefit this book. In fact, I'd be willing to pay the increased cost to have such a book.
That said, you will certainly come away from this book with a cool understanding of how the industry ebbed and flowed over the years. If you are prone to setting down a book that is pretty wordy, you may want to think twice about this book, but know that you will be missing a lot of the inside story that connects so much from the past to the present.
Hope that gives you some good information to make an informed purchase.
