Presenting a holistic and thoroughly practical investigation of
the true nature of computer games that arms readers with a small
yet powerful set of theories for developing unique approaches to
understanding games. Game Invaders fully integrates genre theory,
new media aesthetics, perceptual opportunities, and semiotics into
a practical DIY toolkit for games analysis--offering detailed
guidance for how to conduct in-depth critiques of game content and
gameplay.
Featuring an informal and witty writing style, the book devotes
a number of chapters to specific games from all eras, clearly
demonstrating the practical application of the theories to modern,
large-scale computer games. Readers will find:
* Suggestions on how to apply the DIY package to major
issues central to understanding computer games and their design
* Coverage of the semiotics of video games, laying the
foundation for such topics as the role of agency and virtual
storytelling * Tasks and solutions for readers wishing to
practice techniques introduced in the book * A companion
website featuring access to an app that enables the reader to
conduct their own activity profiling of games
An important resource for those wishing to dig deeper into the
games they design, Game Invaders gives game designers the skills
they need to stand out from the crowd. It is also a valuable guide
for anyone wishing to learn more about computer games, virtual
reality, and new media.
