That review was pretty fun to read, actually. Doesn't sound like the book is any good, but I read 90% of the review instead of the normal 10% as I skimmed through and recognized all the games.

Normally I would have stopped as soon as I found out it was about an English professor who had nothing to do with games rather than a game producer. The resume was really disappointing since I still thought it might have something to do with games before I read that, afterwards I realized it was all boring prose and presentations.

I think the reviewer is a better author than the author, actually...


If that was the less nasty version, I shudder to think how nasty the original was.
