Preface of the book ?The Gamification Toolbox? (Broacasting our studies)
These days, we're seeing an increase in references to the culture of games and video games. It's in this context that we find the phenomenon of gamification. But is it aimed exclusively at gaming enthusiasts, or is it open to all? To find out, let's play! The rules are simple: take a look at Camille's day below. Each time you come across the symbols * @ & #, ask yourself if the sentence matches you. If so, count the symbol in question. Early in the morning, the clock radio plays 8-bit mu [...]Keywords : Serious game, Game, Gamification

Original Sound Track : 100 albums indispensables de jeux vidéo (Book reference)
This book presents 100 music albums based on famous video games original soundtracks. The author reviews each album over two pages, featuring beautiful illustrations. The author successfully shares his passion for video game music through this book. The text is easy to read and full of interesting information. My only complaint lies in the author's choice to focus on game OST published in separate CDs, which tends to heavily bend his OST selection towards Japanese console games, and J-RPG in par [...]Keywords : music, video game, album
