Chronicle Critique

7-7-7 Rule for Game Design offers a compelling take on Game Design, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Design Principles is excellent, I found the sections on Game Design less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Creative Strategy more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Mechanics and Systems will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Interactive Media, if not the definitive work.
