"A wonderfully thorough and entertaining history" - The Guardian "If you enjoy reading about games, there's absolutely no way that you're not going to find spending quality time with this rewarding" - Kieron Gillen, writer for games website Rock Paper Shotgun and the comic Uncanny X-Men "While other history books have covered the topic, Tristan Donovan's 500-page tome is the most wide-ranging history I've read" - Wired "One history lesson worth its weight in quarters" - Bookgasm "Comprehensive and wide-ranging - yet engrossing and splendidly entertaining.
