Discussing Gaming in an Adult kinda way
At work the other day, at the International Film School Sydney, I was delighted to hear wafting into my office the voices of students debating the relationship between Cinema and Gaming, the aesthetics of game art and narrative, the definitions of interactivity. Such intellectual rigor from my students filled my heart with joy. :) In light of this I thought it worth pointing the DigitalBasin towards further commentary on gaming - most notably the excellent blog
The Brainy Gamer which also includes a regular podcast on game theory.
Also worth checking out is
The Game Theory Show podcast which regularly hosts interviews with some of the leading and seminal practitioners of game development and design.
And then of course there is my own
Game Probe BlipTV channel that explores the aesthetics and narrative concepts behind a variety of contemporary games. There is also a blog accompanying this series that engages in discussion around some key concepts to do with game aesthetics as contemporary cinema.
