Synopsis

Covering a broad range of games, industry contexts and research findings, Studying Videogames challenges conventional media analysis approaches, sets out the history, present and future of games and interrogates claims about their 'social effects'. Featuring student activities, interviews with key players in the games industry, and an extended synoptic case study of Grand Theft Auto, Studying Videogames will be valuable to students (and their teachers) following a range of courses for which serious engagement with this powerful media form is required.
