The Video Games Guide

This is a video game review guide with a total of 908 entries and ratings, however some of them tell the reader to (see full review) under another name. The reviews consist of the games title, the year it was releases, the system or platform the game was released on. The company that made it, and a description of the game, and some times its history within the field and sequel it might have had. Each entry is rated with his five star rating system, if a game receives a full five star rating, it can be seen in a full color screenshot, in a 32 page insert at the center of the book. The reviewed games range from arcade, to home consoles, and even computer games, from the beginning of video games up until the books publication in the year 2006.

A "Second Edition", subtitled "1,000+ Arcade, Console and Computer Games, 1962–2012" was released in 2013, and featured about a hundred more games added to the original reviews. However 2 games were removed for this 2nd edition, "Darwin" and, "Polaroid Pete". The {See ___} alternate tilte segments no longer carried the overall score of 1-5 stars, as in the original, the text was shrank, and the large 1/2 blank spaces of the earlier version were removed. While nearly all the original content of the first book is present, other then the two already mentioned reviews, because of the smaller text, and slightly bigger pages this 2nd version has fewer pages then the previous version, despite reviwing more games. It also features a 32 page insert with color screenshots, many of which were the same as the previous book.
