I discovered Jim Rossignol’s book This Gaming Life: Travels in Three Cities, via Massively, an MMO news which I browse through occasionally, though the volume of posts is somewhat daunting! The book discusses Jim’s own experiences as a Quake player based in London, discusses gaming in Korea and has a long piece about gaming in EVE Online. Its a very good read and best of all, its free to read online.
Jim Rossignol also runs the Rock Paper Shotgun website which is an excellent source of news about PC gaming that avoids typical fanboyishness.
