Got Game?

Posted by michael on from the got-blog dept.

Hylton Jolliffe writes "Hey, thought you might like a new blog we've just launched on gaming by RIT professor Andrew Phelps. He's going to be writing about a whole host of things: the gaming industry, the rapidly expanding user base, the role of gaming in the entertainment/media spectrum, the technology and standards that undergird today's games, the emerging social phenomena surrounding them, the future of wireless gaming, the study of gaming in academia, blah, blah, blah. Neat stuff and Andy's already in full stride - see this as a possible starting point."

    gamegirladvance has been kicking around for some time now, and has provided a great combination of gaming news, personal stories, and theoretical discusisons.

  2. other gaming blogs/sites of interest by bigbigbison · · Score: 4, Informative

    There is a growing number of other sites that have the same goals in mind. here are a few of the one's I visit pretty regularly:
    Probably my favorite is Gonzalo Frasca's Ludology.org.
    Also occasionally of interest is Lars Konzack's Ludologica
    Greg Costikyan's Games * Design * Art * Culture has gotten a fairly good amount of press.
    and to toot my own horn, there is my blog Popular Culture Gaming.

  3. I know it was a joke, but France is No. 5 by MyNameIsFred · · Score: 2, Informative

    I know it was a joke, but France is number 5 based on GDP. And the U.S. is larger than the total of countries 2 through 6. Source USA! USA! We're number 1.
