Gamer's Bucket List Reviews

A comprehensive starter's guide to the wonderful world of video games. Watters's punchy prose is a delight; his brief, informal summaries perfectly capture the best of what the art form has to offer. The perfect book for anyone who's never played Minecraft, but is too ashamed to admit it. Laura Parker, contributing writer, The Economist
We are all going to die. You can't avoid it. But you can chose how you go. Outside, in the sunshine, like some sort of animal, or inside your darkened living room, playing games? If you want to get through the 50 excellent games in this book, then the choice is clear. Tim Schafer, President and CEO of Double Fine Productions
