History books should just be written in graphic novel formats. Well the downside is, you don't get as much facts but they are so fun to read. Tetris, the games people play by Box Brown was a great read. It took a a complex and intertwined history and simplified it to the core facts. Tetris had quite a wild distribution history. Originally a free underground past time in the Soviet Union while a explosive monetary game to the rest of the free market world, the contrast is funny.
In term of my favorite game and games as a literature medium hmmmm... I am not a gamer but I do enjoy like many people the classics, Tetris, Pac Man, Mario, etc.... The simplicity of these games makes them easy and addictive.
This is probably the first graphic novel I have owned and i really loved this story. I also really enjoyed Asterious Polyp as we'll and plan to buy a book of it as well. I also happened go to a demo talk with an illustration senior with an interest in graphic novels. So this is definitely a medium I plan to explore over the summer.
