      This book sounds like it would be fascinating! There is so much to learn about telling a story through a video game. I know I loved the computer game, Myst, which they also made books about. I'd like to return to it at some point and play it with fresh eyes. Thanks for sharing a book that I normally wouldn't see! -Katie @ Bookish Illuminations

      No problem, I'm trying to branch out more with books this year and I'm looking to read more nonfiction. As for the book, a lot of what I read about in Video Game Storytelling were things I never knew about, so it was a very interesting read.

    I'm always amazed at how video games are created--the story line, the artwork, the programming. This sounds like a fascinating read.

    Not sure I'd be into this one... I have a love/hate relationship with video games due to my gamer hubby. :-)
    Happy weekend!

    This is something I've never really thought about, but I suppose a lot of storytelling work goes into games like RPGs.

      After reading Video Game Storytelling I have a new respect for games that have stories that are well done and coherent. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
