Here is what people are saying about the The Ultimate History of Video Games: From Pong to Pokemon--The Story Behind the Craze That Touched Our Lives and Changed the World
3 Star Rating  "Pretty good, but expected more"2009-09-09
- Reviewed By User: A3BELPFZABPK6U
This bood was pretty good and probably has a place in my library. It had a lot of interesting facts and wa a fairly complete history. I am a real classic video game nut, though. I would have liked to have seen more picures - there really did not seem to be much effort at illustration.
 
5 Star Rating  "Terrific Book"2009-06-29
- Reviewed By User: A1E9NZRZJ47DGW
This is an accurate, in-depth, and complete review of the great history of video games. Being a 80's video game junkie, it was wonderful to hear the details Mr. Kent reveals.

Also, it is an easy read as the style is pleasing and clear.
 
5 Star Rating  "One of the best if not the best book I have ever read"2008-12-16
- Reviewed By User: A3VBTNNQ5P5C8S
If I had to choose between reading this book or playing a video game, I would read this book. It is fun, exciting, and never boring. That is something to say about such a large book. At the time I picked it up, I figured it might be ok. I have read it at least 5 times and am getting ready to get a clean new copy. Some books like Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years and The War Years (Carl Sandburg) are fantastic books, but will quickly put you to sleep. The Ultimate History of Video Games is one of those fantastic books that will keep you awake and you will have a hard time putting down. And when you do put it down you will find yourself reaching for it often.
 
4 Star Rating  "For Historians and Businessmen, Not Gamers"2008-09-24
- Reviewed By User: A1DRTR8BRQVR86
TUHOVG is a long and intriguing book that covers the earliest interactive computer experiments and progresses pseudo-chronologically through each major movement up to the start of the new millennium. The account provided for the early years of gaming is particularly detailed and well crafted while the details on gaming history post-80's lacks the same luster. Kent's "History" is more a history of the business decisions and financial climates under which the gaming industry thrived and suffered and much less an account of the particular games, game designers, and technological breakthroughs that marked the milestones in the progression of the art form. Ultimately, Kent provides the reader with a wealth of research and interviews, warranting the 4-star rating given by this reviewer. While Kent steers clear of pandering to the hardcore gamer crowd in this volume, he also proves to lack deep or unique insights into the nature of the Video Game form.
 
4 Star Rating  "ultimate history review"2008-09-15
- Reviewed By User: A33GUFN5XNE5A2
great reading I would have given this 5 stars but there were hardly any pics of any of the retro game machines ,and I think more could have been written about atari I mean it was the company that started it all.br /It kind of seemed geared more to nintendo in my opinion with chapter after chapter devoted to them .but all in all a good read .
 
5 Star Rating  "Most concise history on video games available today"2008-08-14
- Reviewed By pschwar
I think this book should be renamed to "The Ultimate History of ME!" cause it pretty much tells the story of my life growing up with consoles and trips to the arcade.

It's a wealth of knowledge, the most concise history of video games you'll find out there - and best of all it's a fun, exciting read. The size can be a bit intimidating, but any fans of video games will fly right through this.

Highly recommended for any former video game addicts from the 80's like myself!
