Background information

This is an annotated bibliography regarding the topic of books that have been written based on video games. I have set the annotations out such that on every post, the book cover is on the left and the game cover is on the right.  Below the 2 covers I set out the annotations such that the citation of the book is directly under it.  I then wrote a few sentences about the plot of the book, the under that a personal view on why I found it appealing. Following that point, I specified the genre. I then wrote several sentences about the game about its play-style and content. Then finally I wrote a few sentences about the game developer and the author of the book.

The way I did the rating system was just purely on my own experiences with the games.

The library that I picked is Baulkham Hills Shire Council Library.

There are a total of 5 branches in the Hills Shire Council but the Baulkham Hills Shire Council Library is my local library.  Library membership is free and you don't need to be a resident to become a member.


A bit about myself as a casual gamer.  I started playing games when I was quite young. I remember picking up the massive Gameboys and playing Mortal Kombat on a black and white screen.  The way how technology evolves and how video game developers use that technology to create games with such incredible graphics is just amazing. It really shows how far technology has come about.

As a young boy I played mainly those fun, quick and easy games such as Crash Bandicoot on the first PlayStation.  As I grew older I began to play more and more games. I started to play more computer games. The only game that I was very dedicated to was World of Warcraft. I have played that game for years but recently I have stopped as I don't have a lot of free time anymore so the games that I play mostly now are just quick/fun first person-shooter games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3
