Additional Book Details

Digital games are one of the most significant media interfaces of contemporary life. <br/>
<br/>
Games today interweave with the social, economic, material, and political complexities of living in a digital age. But who makes games, who plays them, and what, how and where do we play? <br/>
<p>This book explores the ways in which games and game cultures can be understood. It investigates the sites, genres, platforms, interfaces and contexts for games and gameplay, offering a critical overview of the breadth of contemporary game studies.</p>

<p>It is an essential companion for students looking to understand games and games cultures in our increasingly playful and ‘gamified’ digital society.</p>
