Description

The 21st Century in 100 Games is an interactive public history of the contemporary world.

It creates a ludological retelling of the 21st century through 100 games that were announced, launched, and played from the turn of the century.

The book analyzes them and then uses the games as a means of entry to examine both key events in the 21st century and the evolution of the gaming industry.

Adopting a tri-pronged perspective — the reviewer, the academic, and an industry observer — it studies games as ludo-narratological artefacts and resituates games in a societal context by examining how they affect and are engaged with by players, reviewers, the gaming community, and the larger gaming industry. This book will be a must read for readers interested in video games, new media, digital culture (s), culture studies, and history.
