A Great Text, May 5 2009
By Robin Koman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beyond Game Design: Nine Steps Towards Creating Better Videogames (Paperback)
It's been a pleasure reading Beyond Game Design. I've found this text to be the rare successful combination of new information and old information explored in new ways. Each chapter feels complete in and of itself, with ideas from previous sections seamlessly supporting the next. For those working as designers or developers, or those who hope to work in design someday, this is a text worth reading.
