Reddit reviews All Your Base Are Belong to Us: How Fifty Years of Videogames Conquered Pop Culture

I didn't see it mentioned, so it's worth noting Harold Goldberg authored the book All Your Base Are Belong To Us. Fantastic book on the important people that shaped game history. Not your typical cursory glance at Mario and Zelda.

Harold's book has 4 star rating not 2 star for me ? http://www.amazon.com/All-Your-Base-Are-Belong/dp/0307463559

This guy has already had a book published about video games.

Given that the New York Times have run multiple stories, sometimes front page, about League of Legends, I find it incredibly hard that he can't get a publisher to give him an advance to write this thing. I say that as someone who has had talks himself and I don't have half this guy's pedigree.

It's a cash grab. Nothing more, nothing less. You keep overlooking that he is asking money to release work he has ALREADY done.

Fantastic game. Roberta Williams was a brilliant game designer. A whole chapter is devoted to her in this book.
