Press Start to Play by John Joseph Adams, Daniel H. Wilson

4.0

 I really liked most of these stories. My favorites were NPC (Charles Yu), Respawn (Hiroshi Sakurazaka), Desert Walk (S. R. Mastrantone), 1Up (Holly Black), Survival Horror (Seanan McGuire), Anda's Game (Cory Doctorow), and The Clockwork Soldier (Ken Liu). I think Anda's Game and The Clockwork Soldier were probably the best. Roguelike (Marc Laidlaw) was a little too short and repetitive to be a good story for me. I thought Stats (Marguerite Bennett), Creation Screen (Rhianna Pratchett), and Select Character (Hugh Howey) were a little too preachy for my taste. I thought the same thing about Please Continue (Chris Kluwe) until I realized who wrote it, but I wish the meaning had been in the text of the story instead of his bio. It was a good idea but not well executed IMO.
