"From Pac-Man to Mass Effect, The Art of Video Games makes a compelling case for games to be viewed not just as mere play, but as richly textured, compelling experiences that have crossed the boundary into culture and art. As Melissinos writes, "Our children are being born into a world in which the digital and physical collide, and video games are the expressive voice of that collision." The Art of Video Games presents the evolution of that voice, as it becomes ever more powerful." (Welcome Books)

The book will be released on March 6 2012 by Welcome Books.
