Found some neat stuff about immersion and presence. Apart from that, it is a pretty average book.

[BVC · Rating 2 out of 5]

Praticamente quasi nessun articolo interessante e, purtroppo, quasi nulla dedicato al game design.

[Shaun · Rating 4 out of 5]

Too much to list. It uses film theory to discuss the emerging technology of the video game.

[lbh. · Rating 3 out of 5]

it's dated already, but still a good text, and maybe showcases some voices other than the big ones in "First Person", etc.

[Tommy Rousse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Eh. Mostly from the perspective of film studies. Sort of missing the point, really.
