Reviews

An easy read, not delving into any particular aspect of gaming in detail, but providing a brief overview of its history, why people play games, and how best to try one yourself. Above all, How to Play a Video Game manages to convey the joy and sense of discovery in playing video games." —Stephen Weir, Sunday Star Times

"Both an attempt to demystify the world of video games for nonplayers as well as a thought-provoking, sometimes philosophical read for players keen to know more about the cyber universe with which they are familiar." —Shane Gilchrist, Otago Daily Times
