Title: might as well burn your money as buy this book
Product review: I was very disappointed by this book. It comes across as a low-fi look at the broad subject area of game design, more or less bereft of any information that is beyond common sense.The author (whom the back of book blurb refers to as a "Master Game Designer") comes across as condescending, and generally displays a poor grasp of the subject, despite the fact that he is the design director for a video game publishing company.The book seems focussed primarily on the business considerations of game design, rather than on being a useful resource for expanding a game designer's creative problem solving repertoire.If you wish to learn something useful about game design then I reccommend you purchase a different book.
