Praise
“Lantz invites the reader to think about what games (and other mediums) do to us, whether it’s profound, pointless, or a bit of both. Forget whether or not games are art. What do they make you feel?”
—Polygon
“In The Beauty of Games, Frank Lantz at once avoids and aims for the heart of the ‘Is it art?’ debate by considering video games from within ‘the aesthetic domain.'”
—The LA Review of Books
