Audiobook Listens for Gamers

By Brian Laurito

Are you ready to level up your listening? If you’re anything like me, sometimes—even when your console is fully powered down for the night or you’re traveling far from home—you just can’t seem to get the last game you played out of your head; you close your eyes and the world comes rushing back and you find yourself itching to boot up your last save. When that happens, these audiobooks are for you.

From literary fiction to sci-fi and fantasy to nonfiction, these audiobooks explore what we love about gaming. Operation Bounce House, Ready Player One, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow see gamers take center stage as the heroes—and villains—of their stories. Exodus: The Archimedes Engine, Minecraft: The Island, and Dungeons and Dragons: The Fallbacks: Bound for Ruin offer new ways to explore the worlds you love. And Super Nintendo, Extra Lives, The Score, and Playful explore the history of our favorite games and ask why we play in the first place. Whether you’re a veteran gamer or a total newb, there’s something here for everyone.
