Book Description
I’m the genius behind the keyboard, the man at my brothers’ backs when trouble comes calling. Killing might not have been my nature, but I learned to do what I had to, to survive. To keep them alive. Now, with everything going right, with my family finally happy, a new threat has risen. A shadow. A menace that could take it all away in a single breath. And not just from my family. From hers. Nix. One glance and I knew I’d walk through fire to make her see me, make her mine. Too bad she’s not willing to see inside of me. In a world where might makes right, we’re on different sides of the spectrum, but in this game of cat-and-mouse, it will take both of us to make it out alive. * Read the continuing series that’s been hailed as “sexy, gritty, thrilling!” by NYT Bestselling Author Lara Adrian. “Suspenseful, steamy, sizzling chemistry!” — Audiobook Fascination. “Brace yourself ’cause this story is going to grab you by the balls and not let up!” — GR Reviewer

Pages : 142
Book Description
The 21st Century in 100 Games is an interactive public history of the contemporary world. It creates a ludological retelling of the 21st century through 100 games that were announced, launched, and played from the turn of the century. The book analyzes them and then uses the games as a means of entry to examine both key events in the 21st century and the evolution of the gaming industry. Adopting a tri-pronged perspective — the reviewer, the academic, and an industry observer — it studies games as ludo-narratological artefacts and resituates games in a societal context by examining how they affect and are engaged with by players, reviewers, the gaming community, and the larger gaming industry. This book will be a must read for readers interested in video games, new media, digital culture (s), culture studies, and history.

The Sacred & the Digital
Author: F.G. (Frank) Bosman
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3038978302
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Video game studies are a relative young but flourishing academic discipline. But within game studies, however, the perspective of religion and spirituality is rather neglected, both by game scholars and religion scholars. While religion can take different shapes in digital games, ranging from material and referential to reflexive and ritual, it is not necessarily true that game developers depict their in-game religions in a positive, confirming way, but ever so often games approach the topic critically and disavowingly. The religion criticisms found in video games can be categorized as follows: religion as (1) fraud, aimed to manipulate the uneducated, as (2) blind obedience towards an invisible but ultimately non-existing deity/ies, as (3) violence against those who do not share the same set of religious rules, as (4) madness, a deranged alternative for logical reasoning, and as (5) suppression in the hands of the powerful elite to dominate and subdue the masses into submission and obedience. The critical depictions of religion in video games by their developers is the focus of this special issue.
