If you have an interest in computer games design/development and are wondering where to start, then this is it! It's perfect for all ages. It starts on the history of games to give you a better understanding of just exactly what "games" are, then delves deeper and deeper giving you a full and rich experience of all the bits and pieces that go together to make a great game. If you're wondering whether to specialize in a certain area of games development then this book will definitely help you to find what interests you the most about video games because it covers all the basics of each key area very well.

This is a great book for budding games designers/students and teachers.
I particularly like the sections on developing games characters and how to write a GDD (Games Design Document).
Simple and well-presented.

I wanted to see what this book looked like inside before I bought it but was unable too but I wasn't disappointed when it arrived. I bought this for my 12 year old son. It is full on every page of screen shots and sketches/ digital picture, small history section, 3D modeling etc all in full colour for £10. Nicely laid out in small sections it's not overladen with text, you can pick it up and read different sections at a time. Definitely recommended for young teenage boys interested in the games industry and want to know a little bit more about what goes on into making their games a reality.
