Coming this fall: 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die

Brandon Boyer 2:47 pm Fri Jun 4, 2010

Rizzoli publishing imprint Universe has officially announced the October release of 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die — the latest in their series of essential books, albums, paintings, foods and beers — of which yours truly contributed about a whopping 1% of that total.

The book was edited by my former Edge Magazine editor Tony Mott, and contains contributions by a handful of my favorite writers, so even though I haven't yet got a galley-glimpse of the finished product, I can just about guarantee it's going to be a good one.

The book's already up for pre-order at Amazon, and, should you make your way chronologically through its list, probably will indeed just about last you all of your remaining years.
