      Gr 4-6-In-depth histories of some of the most popular, influential video games of all time are laid out in this series. The oldest game of the pack is the arcade classic PAC-MAN, which was the first video game to allow players to control a character. The evolution of each game from its infancy to today wasn't full of success. Some iterations of the games, like the 2009-2010 editions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, were glitchy and unpopular, but all figured out ways to come back into the mainstream. The success of these franchises over time comes from their ability to adapt and bring fresh air to the series, like how The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's open world exploration led to it becoming the best-selling Zelda game of all time. Time lines at the end of each book offer a quick visual history for each franchise. VERDICT Interesting and surprisingly thorough, these are all excellent additions to any library.

      Grades 3-5 The Game On! series (6 new titles) takes readers behind the scenes of popular video game franchises to learn how their favorite games were developed and have changed over time. The books' clean layouts feature sidebar facts and captioned photos of the featured games, their creators, and respective gaming consoles. Short chapters, ranging two to four pages, give readers an overview of the gameplay, any record-breaking moments (sales, design firsts, etc.), and how different versions of the games have been received by fans. Animal Crossing digs into the many delightful iterations of Nintendo's life-simulation game, from its origins as Animal Forest (2001) to its recent desert-island setting in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (2020). Each volume features a "Level Up" spread that compares different versions of its game and a concluding time line.
