Abstract:

Who is a gamer? What kind of people are perceived to be gamers? And finally – who perceives themselves as a gamer? In this article the authors attempt to answer these three questions from a multinational perspective. Background. Games are nowadays one of the most frequently encountered forms of entertainment and constitute an ever-increasing part of many people’s day-to-day lives. With the rising popularity of video games, there is a need to conduct a research concerning gamer identity and to find out who perceives themselves as a gamer.

Abstract:

In the video game industry, older adults tend to be avid consumers. Although considerable research has been devoted to the positive cognitive effects of video games, less attention has been paid to the older adult gamer profile. The aim of this paper is to describe a survey conducted from November 2012 until May 2013, which includes 245 gamers aged 50 and over, about their game preferences. Specifically, the authors examined: (a) what types of video games are played and (b) what leads these players to be engaged by video games. The results indicate that adventure games with problem-solving are

Abstract:

This article aims to answer the following question: can video games be a dynamic medium for globalizing an adapted work of literature to be later played and received by gamers who might learn and increase their literary and cultural knowledge? World literature scholarship, gamer-response theory, game studies research, and my experience of playing Assassin’s Creed (2007) were used to explore how video games can globalize world literature to increase readership. The video game Assassin’s Creed (2007), adapted from Bartol’s Alamut (1938), was used to both discuss how world literature can be trans

Abstract:

The term “gamer” is commonly used to refer to individuals who play video games frequently. However, building on Self- Determination theory (SDT) and the Dualistic Model of Passion (DMP), we argue that it may be more theoretically and practically useful to operationalize individuals as “gamers” versus “non- gamers” based on their identification and passion for gaming rather than based on how frequently individuals play video games. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to compare four groups, those who identify as gamers or non-gamers with those who have frequent use or not, on independent

Because players are free to explore in the video game, the visuals or graphics in the world in the video game will greatly affect the player's interest, but there are survival video games that have good visuals but don't have many interests like Fallalypse and Age of Survival where both video games have a Very Negative rating.

Abstract:

Working therapeutically with video gamers has almost entirely consisted of an overshadowing addiction perspective.

To date, there are no known uses of video games in a clinical setting as therapeutic tools.

Abstract:

Throughout their history, even though their purpose and function have essentially remained unchanged, video games have repeatedly changed their essence, from pioneering technical endeavors, through arcade machines, to thoroughly complex modern video games. At a certain stage of their development, video games were very difficult to complete, with one of the main reasons being that for many years games were primarily played on coin-operated arcade machines, so it was in developers' interest for the games to be challenging. However, there is a crucial difference between difficult video games and

Abstract:

Video game production has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry. While consumer demand for video games remains strong, an explanation for the demand is not so clear. It is likely, however, that a user's degree of “engagement” with the game is relevant. An Engagement Questionnaire (EQ) was recently introduced to capture those dimensions that determine a user's engagement while playing a video game. The goal was to develop a metric that could be applied to a broad range of games and players. The focus of the present study was to determine to what extent there were systematic differences bet

Abstract:

There are currently over 65 million people in the Russian Federation who regularly play video games of any type and on any platform. About half of them fall into the category of "paying" gamers - those who buy games or pay for in-game content, which industry analysts view as an indicator of emerging markets. As it becomes increasingly difficult for developers to compete in the video game market, it is increasingly important for publishers and video game developers to understand why consumers play and buy games. A major challenge for the gaming industry is figuring out which features of a game

This article analyses the role of video games and, more specifically, OWVGs, as playgrounds and training spaces during the pandemic.

Abstract:

This paper intends to examine the potential interconnections between two distinct domains: tourism and video games. The primary objective is to ascertain whether there is a relationship between these two areas and to determine the extent to which video games may promote tourist destinations. In light of this, an attempt was made to comprehend the geographical element present in video games, as well as the historical and cultural recreations represented. Finally, this essay aims to gain further insight into the extent of public participation in gaming-themed events and attractions. The findings

Video gaming is often understood and narrated as an ‘experience’, and we would suggest that this is particularly notable with sports-themed video games. However, we would argue that how the game experience is curated and consumed, and how this relates to wider social process and forces, is rarely given any detailed consideration within the existing game research literature. Hence, this article explores how game experiences can be understood and articulated around four key themes. First, we begin with the argument that video games connect with, but also lead, a wider social trend: understanding

Abstract Video games for leisure are often considered the purview of younger adults. When older adults are the focus of video game use it is often for rehabilitation or prevention. Growing literature explores the potential of video games to improve cognition and health in older adults but very little that is population-based. Available literature shows that fewer older adults engage in gaming when compared to younger adults but that the older adults play with a similar frequency to younger populations. Internet use provides psychosocial benefits to older adults, and we propose that gaming for

Abstract:

Video games, as a relatively new but increasingly mature art form, gradually have a different value than other art forms as they develop. Video games can only be treated properly if the players are fully aware of their multifaceted nature. So the topic of this paper is the value of video games. This paper will try to solve the problem through multi-angle analysis and the experiential summary method. It can be concluded that the game's value is primarily comprised of its commodity and artistic value. As a commodity, games do make a lot of money for game companies. As art, games are indeed artis
