It investigates the sites, genres, platforms, interfaces and contexts for games and gameplay, offering a critical overview of the breadth of contemporary game studies.</p><ul></ul> <p>It is an essential companion for students looking to understand games and games cultures in our increasingly playful and ‘gamified’ digital society.</p>
