World of Warcraft, Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed, God of War, League of Legends, as well as the unique Shadow of the Colossus, the hard-hitting GTA IV, third-person shooters represented by both Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War, the jaw-dropping Crysis, not to mention Professor Layton’s puzzles…

The years 2005 to 2009 significantly shaped the video game landscape of the following two decades: the rise of Microsoft and its Xbox consoles, Nintendo’s decisive shift toward a broader mainstream audience with the Wii, the growth of online gaming, and the widespread adoption of smartphones.

These are just some of the games, ideas, and phenomena explored in this 300-page book, written by Kevin Bitterlin, Christophe Butelet, and Florian Velter.
