Reviews
"If anyone has doubts that video games warrant serious reflection and examination as a creative medium, The Video Game Theory Reader will dispel them. If anyone involved in the creation of video games is looking for fresh perspectives on their art, they'll find them right here." -- D.B. Weiss, author of Lucky Wander Boy
"Computer and video games have been with us for only a few short decades. As with any young medium, important questions remain unanswered: What exactly are video games and how do they function? How do video games relate to other forms of media and culture? What is their effect on the minds and lives of players? And what are the larger implications for society? The Video Game Theory Reader begins to answer these questions, and in doing so, sketches out an exciting, emerging field of vital importance for the future of design, technology, and culture." -- Eric Zimmerman, CEO of gameLab, co-author of Rules of Play: Game Design Fundamentals
"The Video Game Theory Reader is a crucial and timely edited volume which focuses exclusively on the theorization of video games, and thereby makes great strides towards ameliorating a persisting gap in the academic literature." -- Robert T. Wood, University of Lethbridge--New Media & Society
"The Video Game Theory Reader serves as an excellent introduction to video game studies, the current positions in the field, and the current problems with video game studies." -- Laurie Taylor, University of Florida, Journal of Film and Video

妹想到很多篇都涉及现象学,大概源自千禧年间游戏科技的冲击和幻想;很多电影理论的运用,当然的确是视像研究无法绕开的领域,Henry Jenkins可爱,Mark J. P. Wolf和Bernard Perron很厉害了,2021年增订版Encyclopedia of Video Games还没看
