SnowFantasy 4173 Posts June 25 2008 10:52 GMT #3 Readers of a certain generation are surely thinking, video games hit the big time? Get serious. But their children or grandchildren know what the author is talking about. Today’s video games can be as exciting as movies; they can require as much skill as more traditional sports; and they are very big business. The author follows two video-gaming teams, Team 3D and CompLexity, as they battle for supremacy in the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL), which was formed in 1997. For a sport that many consider to be marginal (if a sport at all), gaming is highly competitive and full of players who are just as idiosyncratic, determined, and flashy as any other pro athlete. Kane does a nice job of catching us up in the excitement—no easy task, as we are reading a book about people who play a game on a computer screen. Like any good sports book, this one is about the game and the personalities in equal measure. T_T doubt it talks abouit korea

Jonoman92 United States9110 Posts June 25 2008 19:07 GMT #8 Yea that looks like an interesting topic. Lots of people don't even read one book a year. They just read the 3-5 sparknote synopses (note: I googled it and that is the real pluralization of synopsis) they need to get through school.
