SynopsisThe first of two volumes: How a Game Lives, Vol. 1 is an artfully packaged must-have book for the devoted and casual fans alike, inviting readers to look at gaming and video games from an intellectual, psychological, and emotional perspective as a major part of our cultural fabric. Jacob Geller has 1 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, where he shares in-depth videos on modern gaming and analysis of the games themselves-- interwoven with conversations about politics, art, history and popular culture. Placing video games into the larger media, cultural and artistic context, How a Game Lives, Vol.1 will be a stunning four-color collection that takes Geller's most popular YouTube essays, puts them into print for the first time, and updates them with full annotation by Geller himself and commentary by other writers. Illustrated throughout with original artwork inspired by the games, How a Game Lives, Vol. 1 is truly unique. The games covered in this volume include: The Legend of Zelda series Shadow of the Colossus Returnal Control Call of Duty and more... Geller has taught audiences how to think about video games as art, and how that art has affected them.
