In "Press Reset: Ruin and Recovery in the Video Game Industry," journalist, critic, and narrator Ray Chase tells the story of video games' rise to popularity and its subsequent fall from grace. The book is part history lesson, part horror story, and all cautionary tale. Chase starts by telling the reader about the industry's dark past--a time when games were struggling to compete with movies. However, things took a turn for the better when companies like Nintendo produced games that could be played at home (instead of being only limited to arcades). Now, as people are spending less time on consoles or PCs and more time on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, it seems that this change has brought extreme shifts in consumer behavior.
