Dungeons & Desktops Review

Slashdot is offering up a detailed review of Dungeons & Desktops, the recently released 451-page book of CRPG history penned by Armchair Arcade’s Matt Barton.

Dungeons and Desktops is a mixed bag, somewhat akin to a sack full of Halloween candy. There are some genuinely good pieces of sweetness in there, as well as a great deal of hidden, forgotten gems and some bits you never knew existed. Despite a bit of a jumble towards the middle, taken as a whole the book is well worth picking up if you’re a fan of CRPGs or fantasy games in general. Less die-hard fans might find themselves preferring to stick to Barton’s Gamasutra columns, and Diablo fans might find themselves gritting their teeth at some points, but then every bag of candy’s got a few pieces of black licorice in it, no?
