As sales on games sky rocket past Hollywood box office profits, Michael Kane takes a deeper look into video gaming and the underground world of competitive play. Instead of taking an abstract view of this insider’s world he follows two clans and their struggle to stay on top and make money for their skills. A rivalry as deep as the Yankee’s versus Red Sox, meet CompLexity and 3D. Do you have what it takes to be a cyber athlete? These guys do and they want you to know it.What made this book difficult to get through was my constant desire to break out my own video game system. Kane is fair in his reporting and shows the greed and desire of the men on top, not the players, who are raking in the large profits, as well as a look at the 15-23 year olds who make playing video games their life.
