Game On!: From Pong to Oblivion - The Greatest Video Games of All Time

The games industry is bigger than Hollywood. There are books about sitcoms and soaps, books by and about celebrity chefs, rockstars and reality TV stars but nothing about games! Until now. Game On! breaks new ground. There have been books on the history of gaming (yawn), books about the artwork of specific games or books that tell you all the cheats and gameplay tips (great, if you are a hardcore fan) but nothing for the general enthusiast, the weekend gamer, the people who know how cool games are but have had nothing to help them celebrate that fact. And it's not just about them, it's also about their long-suffering relatives who don't want to have to fork out GBP35 every time a birthday comes round...Authoritative and lavishly illustrated Game On! is a celebration of the raw excitement and sheer visceral fun of games. Focusing on the 50 greatest games of all time, it vividly recreates what made each title so great, gives key information on the development and success of each title and above all how the reader can find and play it. Game On! is the first book that really understands that THE GAME IS THE STAR.
