Reset: A Videogame Anecdote

RESET is a book about the videogame industry. It focuses on the past, present, and future of gaming in a light, often historical, but mostly humorous tone. The whole book reads like a collection of your favorite videogame magazine articles - - poignant, truthful, and funny. Why did the colonists in Defender allow themselves to be captured so easily? Where is Pauline? What is the difference between a bonus game and a mini-game? RESET: A Videogame Anecdote answers these questions, and many more! If you enjoy videogames, it's time to RESET.

5RESET your expectations  Mar 12, 2008
If you love video games then this is the book for you - ACTION - DRAMA - INTRIGUE - MORAL OUTRAGE! This book covers all the bases about games and the industry that makes them, kinda like an issue of GAMEPRO or EGM - and it has a sense of humor about the whole thing too, which thankfully a book about video games should have instead of trying to be classical textbook analysis. "From Barbie to Mortal Kombat" be damned! RESET IS RE-AWESOME!
