Essays On Algorithmic Culture
Paperback
Publication Date: 27/05/2006
This book considers the video game as a distinct cultural form that demands a new and unique interpretive framework. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, particularly critical theory and media studies, the author analyzes video games as something to be played rather than as texts to be read. Using examples from more than fifty video games, Galloway constructs a classification system of action in video games, incorporating standard elements of gameplay as well as software crashes, network lags, and the use of cheats and game hacks.
