Synopsis
An engaging and entertaining read for veteran gamers and curious newcomers alike, A Mind Forever Voyaging traces the evolution of interactive video games by examining 13 landmark titles that challenged convention and captured players' imaginations worldwide.

Along the way, he addresses such questions as: -How did the introduction of moral choices in video games change the playing field? -What film techniques have enhanced (or detracted from ) the gaming experience? -Can video games aspire to be art? Hint: Yes ] -What are the benefits, pitfalls, and unintended consequences of players' "right to choose"? -Will the robot Floyd make you cry?
