"This handbook aims to reflect the relevance and value of studying digital games.As an overview of the current state of research into digital gaming, the 42 papers included in this handbook focus on the social and cultural relevance of gaming. The contributions, which range from theoretical approaches to empirical studies, cover various topics including analyses of games themselves, the player-game interaction, and the social context of gaming. In addition, the educational aspects of games and gaming are treated in a discrete section. With material on non-commercial gaming trends such as ‘modding’, and a multinational group of authors from eleven nations, the handbook is a vital publication demonstrating that new media cultures are far more complex and diverse than commonly assumed in a debate dominated by concerns over violent content."

The handbook consists of contributions from top class scholars and researchers from the interdisciplinary topic areas. The aim of this handbook is to serving as a key reference work in the field and provides readers with a holistic picture of this interdisciplinary field covering technical issues, aesthetic/design issues, and sociological issues.

Engineers and researchers who want to learn about this emerging area will be able to find adequate answers regarding technology issues on digital entertainment. Designers and artists can learn how their skills and expertise can contribute to this emerging area. Also researchers working in the field of sociology and psychology will find how their experience and knowledge are connected to other areas such as technology and art/design. Although topics are written by foremost experts from the field, the description for each topic has been intended to be easily understandable but yet comprehensive enough so that it caters not only for the experts but also beginners and students in the field."

"In this compelling book, Graeme Kirkpatrick argues that computer games have fundamentally altered the relation of self and society in the digital age. Tracing the origins of gaming to the revival of play in the 1960s counter culture, Computer Games and the Social Imaginary describes how the energies of that movement transformed computer technology from something ugly and machine-like into a world of colour and fun. In the process, play with computers became computer gaming; a new cultural practice with its own values."

"Computer games have become a major cultural and economic force, and a subject of extensive academic interest. Up until now, however, computer games have received relatively little attention from philosophy. Seeking to remedy this, the present collection of newly written papers by philosophers and media researchers addresses a range of philosophical questions related to three issues of crucialimportance for understanding the phenomenon of computer games. The nature of gameplay and player experience, the moral evaluability of player and avatar actions, and the reality status of the gaming environment. By doing so, the book aims to establish the philosophy of computer games as an important strand of computer games research, and as a separate field of philosophical inquiry."

"Although it is assumed that the reader is familiar with everyday algebra and the solution of simultaneous linear equations, Matrix transforms for computer games and animation does not expect any prior knowledge of matrix notation. It includes chapters on matrix notation, determinants, matrices, 2D transforms, 3D transforms and quaternions, and includes many worked examples to illustrate their practical use."

"Media seperti video games memiliki efek positif dan negatif. Jenis game yang tepat dapat membantu penggunanya meningkatkan kemampuan sosial dan memecahkan masalah, akan tetapi video games juga membawa dampak negatif terutama bagi remaja dan anak yang masih rentan. Pergeseran pola hidup anak dan remaja yang tidak lagi bermain bersama peer group diluar rumah dan menjadi ketergantungan terhadap gadget membuat mereka sulit untuk membedakan antara dunia maya dan nyata. Interaktivitas dalam game yang menuntut penggunanya untuk aktif menjalani perannya dapat merubah persepsi remaja yang masih rentan. Adegan kekerasan baik fisik dan verbal juga terdapat di dalam game, bahkan di game yang mendapat rating “E” (everyone) yang seharusnya aman dimainkan oleh segala usia. Lantas apakah sistem rating yang diberikan badan Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) dari Amerika Serikat cocok dengan Indonesia?
