Comic-Con Round-Up: For Adults

Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter – Tom Bissell

Another non-comic I picked up at Comic-Con, Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter by Tom Bissell was the perfect read when I went to PAX. You can read my review of this one as well, but Extra Lives made me really want to finally get an X360 and PS3 so I could catch up on all these video game experiences that I’ve missed. He addresses issues like video games as art, moral/ethical quandaries in video game violence, and addiction to games. But even when covering well-traveled ground, Bissell avoids simplistic arguments and makes some meaningful observations.
