Review title: A dry history of video games
Product review: I purchased this book for my thesis (about cost structures of the video game console industry) and did find quite a bit of useful information in terms of what systems were produced when, historical prices, etc. However it was not a very entertaining read. Also, the organizationm of the book, which is broken down by year, makes it hard to follow events that lasted multiple years. (lawsuits, product development cycles, etc.) It's a decent book if you're doing research, or if you're a hard core video game history fanatic, but otherwise I wouldn't reccomend it. A much better book is David Sheff's Game Over, although that only focuses on Nintendo.
