GAME BOYS by Michael Kane

Nowadays video games are big business for companies like Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony. In GAME BOYS: Professional Videogaming’s Rise from the Basement to the Big Time from author Michael Kane, a New York Post reporter, we go through the journey of elite videogaming teams who get paid to play as they try to break into the sports mainstream and earn money with their hobby. GAME BOYS goes on sale June 23rd 2008.

“For a sport that many consider to be marginal (if a sport at all), gaming is highly competitive and full of players who are just as idiosyncratic, determined, and flashy as any other pro athlete. Kane does a nice job of catching us up in the excitement—no easy task, as we are reading a book about people who play a game on a computer screen. Like any good sports book, this one is about the game and the personalities in equal measure.”
