Book Description
I want to first say thank you for taking the time to consider reading my book of video game poetry. I believe all writing is an art-form, and I must wield that creative spark. Video game literature has existed for years; however, it has yet been fully recognized as the literary art-form that it is. It is often flippantly swatted away, like an unfamiliar pet that you dare not take a chance on. Within my poetry, I seek to show how video games (and poetry), can be an effective tool of us understanding and coping with the insanity of today’s modern world. With each poem, I strive to tell a story. Often the focus of my poetry is that of a person who is marginalized; they are often seen a monstrous, or a pariah because of their differences. I seek to answer the question: “What does it mean to be human?” Is it our actions, our thoughts and heart? Or is it how others see us, we shape our reality to meet those expectations? Video games are a universal way of doing this. Please enjoy my book of poems, and I hope it touches your heart.

Book Description
Having dreams is .... normal. We also see people having clear goals ... and it's quite interesting... looking like a more organised person which is dreaming. ... on and on and on. And the truth is ... that the human being could be defined as a machine ... that is always coming up with new and new desires. I look into my past ... and i see myself saying in front of the Universe ... i want that and that ... and that. And ... i can't stop myself ... even if i know that same as Budha said ... the desire itself is the source of all the human pain. I smile realising how i've wasted my life chasing for on million contradictory desires. ... but also honestly realising ... this is a non ending story. So ... starting a weird process of self therapy... analysing all those desires ... especially the ones that obsessed myself ... I've finally concluded that in fact ... i want more to "taste" those desires. It was like i loved Rolls Royce... and i wanted to drive such an amazing car ... but i did not really wanting to pay such a huge price for this car .... the maintenance ... the taxes …the insurance etc. In fact ... all i wanted was to ... drive it ... for a while ... and enjoy the sensation of doing it. And the list of similar desires ... was so damn long ... So ... i wanted that ... and that and that ... hoping in fact that ... i'll get some sensations... which will bring me nice vibes into my soul. But .... It was only one problem. I did not really wanted to ... pay the price. Almost ... for any of those desires which were dominating obsessively my existence. Time was passing ... and i was somehow ending all the time ... being sad and disappointed.... cause my desires did not became real. Not all of them ... but many. But ... i've also noticed with some of those weird desires which i had .... that they were not what I've imagined. It was indeed all ... illusory. I could simple try and test all ... simple paying a price ... like renting the Rolls ... and see if i really want such a car. It was not that i could afford it ... but i could try to taste it ... by paying a minimum price for that ... only to understand better if that was a good path to follow or not. I had to insert ... a coin. But i was not really ready to do it. Yes ... not even pay ... a vey little price for it. I was just dreaming ... so nicely pretending i have clear goals with my life ... but all i was doing was to allow being dominated by those illusory desires. And this moment when i've understood i have only 3 choices... my life changed. Firstly ... I could ... stop dreaming. Or i could pay the price of getting that desire ... and stop being so stupid ... believing that a great dream ... costs 2 pennies. Or ... i could simple .... "taste" a little bit that desire .... see if i really want it ... and then decide if i delete that obsession from my mind ... or not. So ... all was about ... insert coin ... paying the price for it ... or .... simply stop myself dreaming with my eyes opened... like an idiot.

Book Description
An examination of free-to-play and mobile games that traces what is valued and what is marginalized in discussions of games. Free-to-play and mobile video games are an important and growing part of the video game industry, and yet they are often disparaged by journalists, designers, and players and pronounced inferior to to games with more traditional payment models. In this book, Christopher Paul shows that underlying the criticism is a bias against these games that stems more from who is making and playing them than how they are monetized. Free-to-play and mobile games appeal to a different kind of player, many of whom are women and many of whom prefer different genres of games than multi-level action-oriented killing fests. It's not a coincidence that some of the few free-to-play games that have been praised by games journalists are League of Legends and World of Tanks.

Book Description

Book Description
Gain a deeper understanding of games and game design through 18 pioneering frameworks—with examples from board games, computer games, video games, and more. As pop culture, games are as important as film or television—but game design has yet to develop a theoretical framework or critical vocabulary. In Rules of Play Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman present a much-needed primer for this emerging field. They offer a unified model for looking at all kinds of games, from board games and sports to computer and video games. As active participants in game culture, the authors have written Rules of Play as a catalyst for innovation, filled with new concepts, strategies, and methodologies for creating and understanding games. Building an aesthetics of interactive systems, Salen and Zimmerman define core concepts like “play,” “design,” and “interactivity.” They look at games through a series of 18 “game design schemas,” or conceptual frameworks, including games as systems of emergence and information, as contexts for social play, as a storytelling medium, and as sites of cultural resistance. Written for game scholars, game developers, and interactive designers, Rules of Play is a textbook, reference book, and theoretical guide. It is the first comprehensive attempt to establish a solid theoretical framework for the emerging discipline of game design.

Book Description
In a marketplace that demands perpetual upgrades, the survival of interactive play ultimately depends on the adroit management of negotiations between game producers and youthful consumers of this new medium. The authors suggest a model of expansion that encompasses technological innovation, game design, and marketing practices. Their case study of video gaming exposes fundamental tensions between the opposing forces of continuity and change in the information economy: between the play culture of gaming and the spectator culture of television, the dynamism of interactive media and the increasingly homogeneous mass-mediated cultural marketplace, and emerging flexible post-Fordist management strategies and the surviving techniques of mass-mediated marketing. Digital Play suggests a future not of democratizing wired capitalism but instead of continuing tensions between "access to" and "enclosure in" technological innovation, between inertia and diversity in popular culture markets, and between commodification and free play in the cultural industries. -- publisher description.
