What video game books do you recommend?

In particular, non fiction.
I recently finished Game Over about the rise of Nintendo. I also read Masters of Doom a while back about ID software, John Carmack, and John Romero. Both were great reads.
Are there any others out there people would recommend? I know there are plenty of good fiction books taking place in game universes too.

good fiction books
All of the HALO books are surprisingly well done. Really open up the universe. One series I would really advise is The Forerunner Saga by Greg Bear. Fantastic reading and explains a ton of backstory the games only hinted at.

The FF12 strategy guide was a good read.

Ready Player One.
Incredible book. If you are a video game fan you have to read it.

I liked console wars. If you just finished game over, then console wars would be a good read. It is almost part 2 starting out with Nintendo as top dog and Sega's attempt to break into the N American market

This was on my doorstep from Amazon this morning. I can't wait to start it but I have about 4 other books ahead of it on my bookshelf. Reading and gaming is a hard combo of hobbies to keep up with.
