What makes a game good? or bad? or better?<\/p>\n

Video games can be \u201cwell played\u201d in two senses. On the one hand, well played is to games as well read is to books. On the other hand, well played as in well done.<\/p>\n

This book is full of in-depth close readings of video games that parse out the various meanings to be found in the experience of playing a game. 22 contributors (developers, scholars, reviewers and bloggers) look at video games through both senses of \u201cwell played.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
