There's one other book coming out that I forgot to mention. Masters of Doom by David Kushner is coming out this summer and it is a bio about those masters of DooM themselves, John Carmack and John Romero. This month's issus of Computer Gaming World (the one with Everquest 2 on the cover) has a small blurb about it. And interestingly enough there will also be an ebook version that seems to be available right now.
Wow, two posts in two days. Somebody give me a webby for best blog!

First-Person Shooters Aren't Like Movies and That is a Good Thing --A paper about why Shooters aren't like films and how comparisons to them do a disservice to what Shooters are.

That paper was presented at the 2002 PCA under the title "More Than Moving Pictures: Developing New Criteria For Designing and Critiquing Computer Games. The presentation version can be found here. The handout I distributed can be found here.
