READING MATERIAL
SOMETIMES, IT’S GOOD TO PUT DOWN THE CONTROLLER AND PICK UP A BOOK – BUT MOSTLY SO YOU CAN READ ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE JUST BEEN PLAYING, OF COURSE
If you’re familiar with the Games That Weren’t website, you’ll surely know of Frank Gasking, who has been tirelessly documenting unreleased games for many years now. This book is his greatest work so far – the culmination of years of work, covering cancelled games from the earliest days of videogames to the modern era. Throughout this book’s 644 pages, you’ll see everything from controversial and highly publicised projects like Thrill Kill and Sonic X-treme to lost versions of games like Half-Life and The Last Ninja. If that wasn’t enough, plenty of developers have been interviewed to get the inside story of these doomed projects.
