Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback) offers a compelling take on games, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Computers & Technology is excellent, I found the sections on Computers & Technology less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about analytics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for JavaScript will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on games, if not the definitive work.
