5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful and light weight, easy to carry on you at all times. 16 Mar 2012

By Richie7RK - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

An awesome book, very helpful. There are not many gaming dictionaries out there and it is very hard to find certain gaming terminologies on the web. I highly recommend this book not just for any average gamer, but also designers, developers, hobby, or just to touch base with certain terms and always improve your knowledge when going into a convention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary Resource 16 Mar 2012

By Scott Russell - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

This book is long overdue. For years we've tried to get by in the game industry without a common language. "Game Designer" means one thing to one person and another to someone else. With the dictionary, hopefully we can all be on the same page. For Game Developers and students of Game Arts & Design, this is an invaluable asset, and a must for every bookshelf.
