My new book [in German] has been published! You may order it online ↑via amazon or directly ↑via Peter Hammer Verlag. Offline every decent bookshop can get it for you, too.

Following your link to wikipedia I discovered this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Video_Games
I like the fact, that video- and computergames are more and more considered a form of art by now, even though I strongly disagree with the list. Most games mentioned are (or were) popular and economically successful. I am missing many games which are in fact art, like ‘The Longest Journey’, ‘Mirror’s Edge’, ‘American McGee’s Alice’, ‘Vampire: Bloodlines’, the ‘Gothic’-series or ‘The Witcher’.
Nice building btw :D
