I never really thought of how many Star Trek video games there were, it had everything that I was hoping for from the nonfiction elements. Mat Bradley-Tschirgi does a great job in writing this and making a guide interesting. This was a great book for any Star Trek fan.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars 50 Years of Boss Fights - Video Game Legends by Daryl Baxter is an absolute blinder of a book!

I love video games as a whole and enjoyed the Gothic elements in a lot of video games. This had everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the way this was done and was well researched. I thought Christopher Carton has a great writing style and it was written perfectly.
