Music Games Rock is a book by Scott Steinberg, to try to tell a history of the music gaming genre.
http://www.musicgamesrock.com/

This guy claims:
Quote
"Cronicling the meteoric rise and fall (and rise again) of music video games, Music Games Rock: Rhythm Gaming’s Greatest Hits of All Time is the first book to explore the field’s history, origins and most spectacular hits and flops."


hah!  His book is basically condensed wikipedia entries about each of the games.

The book is a free download, so check it out.

His only "history" section only talks about the rock band type games in the US.  No actual history about Konami, lawsuits in Dance games, or the culture that these games started.

I don't know if this guy just doesn't know about the actual history, or if he chose to ignore it. OR maybe it's not meant to actually be the full history he claims it to be?

Thoughts?
