Title: A good overview of the game industry.
Review: This book is an excellent overview of the game industry. It goes into some detail regarding the different positions and the rolls people play within a game company; programmers, producers, artists and some of the specialties within each category. Marc takes the time to explain the basic skill sets that are expected of a candidate and suggests a few ways of making yourself stand out from the crowd.It contains a good deal of practical advise for the beginner who wants to break into the industry and certainly does it's best to dispel some of the myths that surround it (you will not be playing games all day at work!). He also has some good refreshers for those of us who have been around for a while that we all need to be reminded of on occasion (Network!).This book is not a magic bullet, but nothing could be... but it sure give some good suggestions on how to aim.
