Review of"This Gaming Life" July 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Not a great gamer myself but bought this book as a present for some computer techi friends. Always have a quick browse of a book before giving it and I was hooked. Now I understand why some of my friends rush home from the pub or refuse a night out on the town to join their virtual community on line to organise space trading empires - to be part of a team of international players.
It's not only that Jim Rossignol has looked how gaming is played and affecting society all over the world but especially London, Seoul and Reykjavik. He has investigated academic research that has sought to ascertain the effects of gaming on ours and different cultures. He puts together his thoughts, arguments and comments, in an engaging and entertaining style. Truly a man of our time, proving that computer and console gaming has become part of world culture.
