From Pong to PlayStation 3 and beyond, Understanding Video Games is the first general introduction to the exciting new field of video game studies.

Throughout the book, the authors ask readers to consider larger questions about the medium:what defines a video game?who plays games?why do we play games?how do games affect the player?Extensively illustrated, Understanding Video Games is an indispensable and comprehensive resource for those interested in the ways video games are reshaping entertainment and society.
