Omschrijving
This accessible, third edition textbook gives students the tools they need to analyze game using strategies borrowed from textual analysis.
“Games and play are diverse, and one approach does not suit all of them. Here one can find tools that are appropriate for analysing games from simple to highly complex, while also taking into account their associated forms of play and game cultures.” - Frans Mäyrä, Professor of Information Studies and Interactive Media, Tampere University, Finland
“The book arms anyone interested in videogames with a rich vocabulary and an analytical toolset that is both deep and accessible. My students love how it guides them through the process and helps them uncover meaning by themselves. A must read!” - Víctor Navarro-Remesal, Professor and Game Scholar, Tecnocampus – Universistat Pompeu-Fabra, Spain
