review:
'The Comic Book Story of Video Games: The Incredible History of the Electronic Gaming Revolution' by Jonathan Hennessey with art by Jack McGowan is a graphic novel history.

The story starts with pre-electronic forms of entertainment and the development of computer technology. Along the way are the big names that created the games and companies. People, milestone games, and consoles are featured. Games like Space War, Pong, Halo and Angry Birds are among the many featured.

I enjoyed the story of video games. I didn't really enjoy the art. It's got an overly rough style that I didn't really like. I did like that familiar video game characters make cameos on the pages, but the art was just not my favorite.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Ten Speed Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
