Publisher Description

Find out about the fast and furious growth and evolution of video games (including how they are quickly taking over the world!) by looking at some of the most popular, innovative, and influential games ever, from Pong, the very first arcade game ever, to modern hits like Uncharted.

Learn about the creators and inspiration (Mario was named after Nintendo’s landlord after he barged into a staff meeting demanding rent), discover historical trivia and Easter eggs (The developers of Halo 2 drank over 24,000 gallons of soda while making the game), and explore the innovations that make each game special (The ghosts in Pac-Man are the first example of AI in a video game).

Whether you consider yourself a hard-core gamer or are just curious to see what everyone is talking about, Game On! is the book for you!

Disappointing prose

This is more of a fan overview or “my favorite games” list, and I feel like the book might have needed an editor. The author’s prose makes Dan Brown look like Shakespeare.

SLOPPY INACCURATE CHILDISHLY WRITTEN JUNK

Can't even continue after third chapter in sample its sloppiness is so annoying! Did the "author" mean to write Electric Arts? Pong was not actually digital. Was "The Incredible Hulk" really #1 in 1978? Did boom boxes exist yet in the early 70's? NO! Space Invaders did not have a joystick! On and on no doubt...
