Strategy Guides Editorial Review
"The Video Games Guide: 1,000 Arcade, Console and Computer Games, 1962-2012, 2d ed." provides a comprehensive list of video games and their details, making it a valuable reference book for gamers interested in the evolution of the industry. The book is organized alphabetically and includes the year of release, system, company, the author's personal ranking, and a short description for each game. The inclusion of colored pictures in the middle of the book helps illustrate the advancement in game design over the years. However, some readers have noted that the book is not entirely complete, as it misses out on important games like Earthbound, Terranigma, and Secret of Mana. Nevertheless, Considering the vast number of games in existence, it is understandable that not every game can be included. Overall, "The Video Games Guide" is a good addition to any gamer's library.
