When life gives you golden opportunities, make a golden gun. A review of Alyse Knorr’s GoldenEye 007: 00 Agent Edition (Boss Fight Books).
Recounting this lost chapter, and bringing an elusive masterpiece to a wider audience, Chris Kohler’s Final Fantasy V does readers a tremendous service.
Katamari Damacy, by L.E. Hall, hews to the game as closely as the Prince running after his rolling Katamari; whether the finished product will pass muster and become a star will depend on the regal dispensation of the particular reader.

Alyse Knorr opens her delightful Super Mario Bros. 3 by posing three interrelated questions: “Why does everyone love this game so much? Why do I love it so much? Why was it so incredibly successful?”
First, a word or two about who these books are for. For you, probably, if you’re taking the time to wonder about this at all. And, if you’re feeling generous, maybe for your brother or sister who used to play 8-bit Super Mario and Final Fantasy games with you at your old house growing up.
