If you ever catch yourself wondering if, how, or why video games may or may not matter, you might be interested in reading Tom Bissell's new book, "Extra Lives." While most of it is a couch-bound case study of shooter games, Bissell does provoke some interesting ideas about the narrative of game play, expanded concepts of storytelling, and what might make one game more engaging than another. If you want to borrow the book, talk to Jessie.
