Greatest Moments in Video Game History is the most extensive book of video game facts available today. While books written in a similar vein provide readers with general facts, “Greatest Moments in Video Game History” brings to light the lesser-known facts that will take you on an exciting trip through history starting in 1947 and running through 2012.
Greatest Moments in Video Game History is not just a chronological list of events; it also features stories that you will not read anywhere else, noteworthy game releases, scandals, bans, publicity stunts gone wrong, Guinness gaming records, and a look at the best and worst game releases throughout the years.
I hope that you will be as entertained reading this book, as I was writing it!

Greatest Moments in Video Game History edition by DB Weston Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
I liked ready by guidebook and learning about all of these important moments in history. Unfortunately I feel like there was a lot left out and the book is generally just too short.
This book was full of lots of interesting facts, but I have found a lot of errors and I haven't even read the whole thing. It said that Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots was released in 2008, which it wasn't. It also said that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was released in two different years. Those are just two of this books many errors.
I have unlimited and this book says its available but you just get the sample so you cant read the book on unlimited
I've been playing video games since the mid 80's. I thought I knew a lot about the games and their histories. This book showed me just how little I actually knew.
The book is packed with excellent bits of history from simple things like "What was the FIRST interactive video game?" (hint it wasn't "Pong") to the "fun-filled soap opera" with the long-haired guy from Ion Storm ).
The good ole' consoles are covered as well. It's amazing how much drama transpired when the Nintendo was released and also just how many clones (successful and failures) came before and after it.
Lets not forget the backstabbing among former friends and associates all in the name of the mighty dollar. Video games aren't violent, it's the people that make them haha.
If you're looking for action, drama, suspense, and comedy in the video game world, then this is for you. It really delivers as "The Greatest Moments in Video Game History". It really is a fun and informative read. A must for any video game fan.
i liked this book because I am a gamer and love infinity ward
i like cod bo2 rest in peace Soap
if you love video games then this is the book for you you learn a lot from this short history of video games
This book kept me hooked on all the details that and facts presented in it. However, I was turned down when I noticed that some of its sources came from Wikipedia. Although many facts were interesting, I felt that some of those facts are not trustworthy. However, it does give you better insight unto everything that was happening in the video game industry. So if you want interesting facts this is a must buy.
A short but informative history on video games and it greatest moments. If your into videogames or history of videogames then this book is for you. It felt like a trip down memory lane for most of the book for me. Also I learned stuff I didn't know. Great book to remember and to learn new stuff.
