3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, bad design,
By Edith Wharton II (DURHAM, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Space Time Play: Computer Games, Architecture and Urbanism: The Next Level (Paperback)
Space Time Play is a useful work for those new either to gaming or to how gaming is academically handled. Short, usually readable (though badly proofread), essays on architectural and political aspects of video games are interspersed with reviews of games relevant to the theme of the essay. These short pieces offer a good introduction to a gamut of games and much of gaming history. But I write this review not to praise the book, but to complain about it. It is one of the most poorly designed texts that I have ever encountered. Its glossy, reflective pages make reading the black, 10-point type print difficult. The gray, 8-point type print of authors' names and endnotes make reading impossible. The designer, perhaps in an attempt to look avant garde, has produced a volume that makes the usual pleasure of reading painful.
