How Computer Games Help Children Learn
from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

David Shaffer proposes here that we educate children by having them do the things adults do--only by simulating them in game form. This is an idea I haven't run across before, and I think it may have real merit.
I have a nine-year-old son who attends public school. His school spends a lot of... more info

Learning by Doing: A Comprehensive Guide to Simulations, Computer Games, and Pedagogy in e-Learning and Other Educational Experiences
from Pfeiffer
Price: $52.00

Customer Review:

Although Aldrich provides a good guide with an overall view of pitfalls or benefits of serious games, I did not think there was enough depth in design and effective learning techniques for my research needs.

Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics, Second Edition (Game Development Series)
from Charles River Media
Price: $36.46

Customer Review:

I was disappointed in how little explanations were included in this math book. It seemed more like a dictionary. It was as if someone listed all the math concepts that could be included and then put the list into a hard cover binder.
I did read some of the other reviews thinking I had missed... more info

Game Design Workshop: Designing, Prototyping, and Playtesting Games (Gama Network Series)
from CMP Books

Customer Review:

I like this book so much, I've purchased it 3 times! (My first copy was "borrowed" by one of my designer/producers, my second copy was left at Ubisoft SF, and this is my 3rd copy for myself.)
Great mixture of theories, old-school practices, and new-school techniques.

Customer Review:

Penny Baillie-de Byl, Programming Believable Characters for Computer Games (Charles River Media, 2004)
I'll start by telling you that this is not a book for beginners, though oddly, it seems to try and be one at times. But then, when you're digging into some of the technologies Penny Baillie-de... more info

Game Design: Principles, Practice, and Techniques - The Ultimate Guide for the Aspiring Game Designer
from Wiley
Price: $31.50

Customer Review:

My title pretty much sums it up. While this was an interesting book, all it did was define the different game types and give very brief descriptions about character, level, and model design. Again fun to read, but nothing I could not have found on the internet.

This is a very good book about the art of writing and designing videogames. It has opened my eyes to many important factors of the process of creating a story (characters, plot, "the hook",...) and it included interesting exercises to assure you are following the pages and exercising your... more info
