Full of fun facts for gamers out there. Decent size with plenty of pages and photos.

[Lindley Walter-smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Borrowed from the library, but it is of such endless fascination to my preschool kid that he is refusing to return it and we might need our own copy. I have read the "Giant Game Enemies" so often that I know it off by heart.

Really attractively and colourfully presented, with bite sized chunks of text.
