Death by Video Game: Danger, Pleasure, and Obsession on the Virtual Frontline Review: A must-read for those with any interest in gaming! - Despite buying more than my share of books on desertcart, this is the first review I’ve written, as I just have to give the author props and recommend it highly to all. As a lifelong gamer (I'm 35, and started by messing around on the Intellivision as a tot) and voracious reader, I found this to be near perfection. Far more than the title and summary suggest, it provides the most up-to-date information and research on the multitude of ways in which games not only appeal to us but meet our most basic psychological needs, and their various applications. The writing style is excellent and easy to read, and the author is very even-handed in his approach to the controversial issues. As an added bonus for me, there was even a little bit on a game not yet released which I’m avidly anticipating, No Man’s Sky. I read a lot of the stuff out there on gaming and would rate this as the best of the bunch, a must for any gamer. Review: A great read for those who are into gaming - Delves into what is typically overlooked when it comes to gaming and the potential negative impact it has on those who become too obsessed. A great read for those who are into gaming. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,873,020 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #98 in Minecraft Guides #784 in Popular Culture in Social Sciences #801 in Cultural Anthropology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (97) | | Dimensions | 6.1 x 1 x 8.8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1612195407 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1612195407 | | Item Weight | 14.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | June 21, 2016 | | Publisher | Melville House | ## Images ![Death by Video Game: Danger, Pleasure, and Obsession on the Virtual Frontline - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zY9QJJjRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-read for those with any interest in gaming! *by R***A on September 15, 2015* Despite buying more than my share of books on Amazon, this is the first review I’ve written, as I just have to give the author props and recommend it highly to all.
