Personal Review: Game Design: The Art and Business of
Creating Games (Prima Techs Game Development) by Andre
LaMothe
Ok, if you have ever designed a game for longer than 6 months, most of
the book will be obvious. If you have NEVER done anything with games,
the book will let you know of pitfalls to expect and things to do correctly.
Overall though, it is STILL a great book for everybody to read. It's well-
written, has lots of graphics, pics, and other user-friendly tidbits of
knowledge. It does lean heavily on looking at design and management of a
few key games and fails to mention ANYTHING about web-based games
(i.e. games played strictly through a browser).
A good book nonetheless. Enjoy it and give it to your colleagues to read
and learn :>!
