Game Design: Secrets of the Sages 2nd Edition edited by Marc Saltzman
Sorry to say but I was very disappointed with this book. I was expecting more explanation of game design with perhaps some structure and examples. What I got was short slices of interviews with people in the game design business. I knew several of these people and their work, some of which I was not impressed by at all. I'm a gamer from the old board and pieces style and many of the computer games by these people that I have purchased were based on board games I have played. I must say that in my opinion the computer game versions were butchered.This type of thing might just be your cup of tea but it is not mine. Not only does it not go in my keep on my desk book group, it doesn't even make the not great but keep in my collection group. If you are looking for an inexpensive, well-read copy of this book, check out our bookstore. I'm going to put it up for sale real reasonable shortly after I finish this review.
