Lawsuits. Scandals. Billion-dollar payouts. Giant plastic
Stratocasters. Welcome to the weird, wild and whacked-out world of
music video games: Every bit as glorious and gonzo as the legendary
bands and songs that inspired its hard-partying ways. Rocking its
way to the top of the charts faster than any genre before, music
and rhythm gaming had become a $1.7 billion industry and breakout
hit by 2008. But despite transforming pop culture, the category had
all but single-handedly sunk the game industry's fortunes just a
year later. Chronicling the meteoric rise and fall 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, and most
spectacular hits and flops. Features: Hundreds of Music Gaming's
Greatest Hits and Misses / The Making of Guitar Hero and Rock Band
/ Complete Genre History. "Cementing gaming's role in music's
evolution, Steinberg has done pop culture a laudable service." -
Nick Catucci, Rolling Stone
