    Interesting stories, Il keep an eye out for the book.

    Terrible name for the book (and yes, I do know the history). Also, there's a word missing in the sentence directly under the BeJeweled title screenshot. High Scores! is an interesting video game history book as well.

    Nice, I knew the Popcap one, there name was made due to hey you know nobody would ever say these three words together reasoning. Diamond Mine is my favorite mode in Bejeweled 3.

    Holy shit, you triggered a major flashback with that Popeye game. I used to have that game for the Intellivision. It was fantastic!!!!! Very underrated.

    Perhaps when the Kindle version costs less I will pick it up, but I just can't stomach paying more for a digital version of a book than the physical copy.

    I always thought bejeweled sounded like bedazzled. That name sucks.

    I have to agree with Kutaragi : Crash Bandicoot is pure sh*t!

    A-Hole Alert!!!

    The best thing to come out of Crash were those commercials. R.I.P. Crash.

    I never would have guessed that about BioShock's opening. That just goes to show how important creative freedom is in the production process.

    thats not a bad price for such juicy information. I still have The Ultimate History of Video Games still sitting on my shelf unread though.

  • Imgema - May 13, 2011 7:06 a.m.

    I don't think Crash is so important for Sony seeing him appear to every rival console... Sony is not like Sega who had to do this with Sonic (Sega isn't a rival anymore).

    hahahhaha the Video for Crash Bandicoot made me laugh so much "Is that Italian" "No,Bandicoot is Australian"

    Henry is into Kabuki theater? "Noh" way!!! This sounds like an interesting read. I will keep my eye out for it.

    What about Enix making hentai games before it merged with Square?

  • Robusken - May 13, 2011 4:23 a.m.

    I saw this at a book store and was very hesitant about actually buying it but if its full of secrets like this...

  • ElDudeorino - May 13, 2011 4:13 a.m.

    This is an interesting article. It looks as if a lot of work was put into it. Well done, a good read.
