Collins Jacked: The Unauthorized Behind-the-Scenes Story of Grand Theft Auto

Indispensable para entender un fenómeno de masas como GTA y con una cronología que daría para una serie a la altura de "Halt and catch fire". Si te gusta leer (en inglés) y la historia de los videojuegos, este es tu libro!

Good book; heavy on facts, a lot of quotes from actual Rockstar/DMA employees. Content is well-organized, and while it does mostly center on the Houser brothers, there's quite a bit on R* and DMA in general.The only issue that I have with this book is the editing. There are sentences that make no sense, and there is an unusually high number of typos. Sometimes the context is enough to understand what the author means - sometimes not. But if there is one thing that is absolutely infuriating it's the misspelling of "pixelated". Kushner is absolutely hellbent on using this word (as many as three times in one chapter), and each time he spells it as "pixilated" - which, while an actual word, means something completely unrelated. And while this may seem like a petty thing to bring up, the frequency of this is what makes it.. annoying.Overall though, great book, definitely worth a read.

I grew up playing GTA, from the very first one to the entire franchise. And never followed game news so I wasn’t aware of the history behind it.Super interesting to read and learn not only about GTA but the video game industry pivotal moment.

Just arrived today and i'm sure the book will be great which is why i'm not downgrading the rating. However the condition of the book was very poor. Very disappointed.
