What did you get? I have a number of books about different systems I like, such as PS3 (called it only did everything) and PS Vita and The Art of Point and Click Adventure Games and so on. I'm interested in anything you enjoyed/recommend.

Cheers

Another one I’ve just remembered and one of my fav books is The ultimate Guide to Video Games by Stephen L Kent it’s a superb read.

I'm Too Young to Die and the Game Boy Box Art collection are really good. Dark Horse and Udon make some great artbook for the likes of Street Fighter and Final Fantasy as well, in fact sometimes I'm not even a massive fan of the franchise but like the art style so much I buy them anyway.

I’ve budgeted for a couple more at Crimbo !

Thanks for all the suggestions. I listen to lots of retrospective reviews of older video games on youtube when I'm out driving for work every day. Some really good ones that you may enjoy. The wing commander one was good. Vagrant Story as well.
