Great resource

Based on the reviews in the book, I just found a game that is perfect for mye nephew. I'm looking forward to Volume 2

Needs less cataloguing and more history

This book reads more like a catalog than I expected. I was hoping for a comprehensive history and documentation of video games, but instead, it feels like the same information you get from a video game review website.

Really Good, and about time!

I found this to be a really good book! Its got some really nice editorials, which most reviewers dont give to much credit for. Most of them open the book and say "Oh, its just a catalog" but if you look and read through, it has some articles about the future of gaming and research on gaming. And a quick look at video game heros.

The book, has a list over major tittles of 2006, which in its self is really good, because it gives you an idea of what games you might like, if you liked a specific tittle.

And Volume 2 Will be more in-depth then the first, and they are going to make a nostalgia one too! Which im looking forward too!

This book is a really nice guide to parents and alike, as it gives you insite to what games are good for your children ect.
