Philosophie des jeux vidéo (Book reference)
An excellent book featuring a deep analysis of the experiences offered to players by videogames. Being at the same time a gamer and a scholar, the author provides us with his very thoughtful and stimulating ideas on this topic. The first three chapters are tackling the issue of defining games, video games, and the relation between games and movies / storytelling.

EDoS: An authoring environment for serious games design based on three models (Broacasting our studies)
Serious games (SGs), the confluence of e-learning and videogames, have been developing very fast these past years. Indeed, SGs combine aspects of tutoring, teaching, training, communication and information, with entertainment elements derived from videogames, in order to capture people's attention for purposes that go beyond pure entertainment. However, the creation of a SG for educational purposes and professional training is a very time-consuming and expensive process. The challenge is to comb [...]Keywords : Serious games, Scenario design, Authoring environment, e-learning, Pedagogical objective

On the Relation of Serious Games and Learning (Broacasting our studies)
Serious games have become a key segment in the games market as well as in academic research. Although the number of games that identify themselves as belonging to this category as well as the research done on their effects has been rapidly growing, there has thus far been no attempt to define all of the various opportunities that digital games provide for learning. To address this issue we look at existing definitions of serious games and their potential for learning. We identify the shortcoming [...]Keywords : Serious game, Learning
