Available for purchase in both paperback and hardcover formats.
This book compiles the videogame-related articles published to GameSpite.net in the second half of 2007 and first half of 2008 which weren't printed in Year One, Vol. 1. Due to the significant number of articles this encompasses on the topics of Mega Man, Metal Gear, and Metroid, I’ve gone ahead and compiled other GameSpite content related to those series yet originally published outside the charter dates for the sake of completeness: Aside from material printed in the GameSpite Quarterly books, this volume is more or less this venture’s definitive work on these topics. Please do bear in mind that a lot of that peripheral material is quite old (some of it stretching back more than a decade), so its tone may be slightly incongruous with the rest of the book. Please think of this as a charming personality quirk rather than a deep-seated inconsistency.
Furthermore, this book contains two articles that have never been published in any other medium: A new retrospective on Metal Gear Solid 2?, and a “lost” article on the Mega Man Battle Network series.
Thanks as always for supporting GameSpite and its various projects!
