5.0 out of 5 stars A very thorough overview of the gaming market for new users., September 24, 2001

Richard Arnesen (Lancaster, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Video Game Almanac: 450+ Reviews of Computer and Video Games (Paperback)

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is new to PC and Console Gaming in general. A more seasoned gamer also could gain insight into genres they are not normally familiar with. But either way it is a great source of info for a ton of games on the market.
