The Art of Videogames von Grant Tavinor (Social Science, Parks, Recreation and Tourism Group, Lincoln University, New Zealand)

Zusammenfassung

Videogames aren't just for children anymore. In fact, their fictional worlds now inspire us to judgments of perceptual beauty, involve us in interpretation, and arouse our emotions. Reflecting the increasing technical and moral sophistication of the genre, The Art of Videogames presents a unique philosophical approach to the art of videogaming.
