Best Game Design Overview Available...
I really enjoyed this book! I have some limited experience in game development, and this book really helped fill in the blanks for me. It was highly recommended by a friend who already works in the game industry -- and on several websites. I wasn't disappointed. I think it's the best book available. The book flowed easily from chapter to chapter.Previsualization - Level Planning and Building - Lighting - Texturing - Particles - Effects - Actors - Props - Audio
Camera Control - Genre Design - Scripting - QA - MMOGs - Wireless It's all covered in pretty balanced detail. I finally feel like I understand how all this stuff relates in building a game and no single book had helped me this way before. I bought several other books on game design - but they were either too general or didn't really seem to cover the stuff you need to really get going in this area. Highly recommended!

This is a great book for new and experience game designers
This book is very useful, it has provided many information not found elsewhere. I highly recommend this book. As a game designer myself, it has been helpful for me in many ways.

Very helpful because
I really liked the interviews with the game creators at Blizzard/Lucas/Sony and all. The sections on learning how to make up behavior helped out alot. Now I feel like, I'm armed now to take on the industry and it was an easy read with great payoff.
