Publisher comments
·The new edition will correct a few mistakes and omissions that were noted after the book published. It will also add new information that we were not able to include in the first edition, particularly on game development in Europe and Japan, as well as bring the book up-to-date with the latest developments in the US market.
·This book is designed to take people back, to commemorate the long, strange journey the industry has taken'from the garages of a few teenaged geniuses to the steel-and-glass high-rises of Sony, the sprawling campus of Microsoft, and the cubicle-filled offices of development teams all over the world.
