Don't judge a book by its cover

Well I would like to start off by saying I like video games. I tend to play them on my spare time if I am not doing other things that actually have purpose. Not saying that video games are useless, they actually are a great form of entertainment and they help with eye-hand-coordination. I thought this book here would be a read.

But it turns out I was wrong.

I thought this book was going to be about cool video games with new technology and how it would be better in the future and awesome things.

The introduction to this book was amazing, It was all about cool things like when first video games came out to what they are now and all sorts of fun stuff.


But then it got boring.

It got boring almost immediately after the introduction. Right afterwords there were statistics. Numbers. The first few were cool statistics were ineteresting and then it crashes. They give me all sorts of days and years and percentages and sales. I skipped around a few pages looking for something that's interesting, and I found something. I learned that the Xbox Kinect was originally its own product that recognized voices and bodies.

I will not lose all hope because I am sure I can find or read something good in a book about video games. I sure am learning things which is good, so if you like stats and video gamesthis is your kind of book.

None of this would have happened if I did not judge this book by its cover. Playful on the outside and  boring on the inside.
