Book Reviews of Man, Play and Games
Book Review: Game types, and who plays what
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book by recommendation from a University lecturer. I found it very useful as I am completing a dissertation on Computer games and gender differences. This book puts types of games into groups with different types of people playing these games. It explains what we get out of these games personally, mentally, physically and Emotionally. I would recommend it to anyone interested in games evolution and how they affect our daily life.
