Well, since I actually work in this field, I can tell ya that Amazon is pretty much starting to subtly require all books available through them to be available in ebook format in some way. So there's a big conversion drive going on amongst the small publishers to comply. (The big publishers have been doing it automatically for a while.) As far as specific titles, you seem to be in very good company. Here are 350+ other Kindle books available from Amazon about videogames/video games:

Amazon "videogame" Kindle books (only the first 5 - the others are blog subscriptions) (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=videogame)

Amazon "video game" Kindle books - Approximately 350+ results. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=a9_sc_1?rh=i%3Adigital-text%2Ck%3Avideo+game&page=1&keywords=video+game&ie=UTF8&qid=1257098805)

Wow, I didn't realize that it had gotten so ubiquitous. I guess it would make sense considering the demographic, and considering that videogames are a young technology (though, obviously, not as young as ebooks).
