Decent Book,

This review is from: Video Games (Paperback)
I just recieved this book in the mail a couple days ago. Now I got this book because it was about the older consoles. It has:
Dreamcast, N64, Playstation, GBC, PS2, and PC. This book was made in 2001, so it has almost all the PS1, N64, GBC games, and Dreamcast, but has almost no PS2 games. That is fine by me, becasuse I wanted a list of older games, not so much newer ones. It has many pages of reviews, and quick info bits. For the most part the reviews are accurate, but some are off. Basicly this is an big encyclopedia on games, and their reviews. I'd buy it now, because I would think this book will soon go out of print. This due to it being made in 2001. So pick up a copy, I reccomend sellers. This manly because I got mine for $8 with shipping, instead of the $40+.

Not bad,

This review is from: Video Games (Paperback)
It's a big book of games with the writer's two cents on many of the games. There were several games I was looking for that I didn't find. However I bought the book as a catalogue sorta to complete my collection. In that regard it helped me discover new games I would not have every known of otherwise.
