★★★★☆

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