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