Featured in Issue 16:
Editor in Brief – Identity: Hail to the Chief?
A Tale of Two Cities: In Quest For Glory II: Trial By Fire, Shapeir is a city you can call home… after you get lost in it.
The Big, The Vast, and the Epic: Vast games have the same scale as epic ones, but leave control and creativity to the player.
Exploring Glitch Space: Game spaces are created for the player, but glitch spaces reveal something about their developers.
Nostalgia in Absentia: When nostalgia affects how we talk about and make games, we limit their audiences and potential.
Diaspora Tales: Videogames don’t often feature Jewish characters, but each example provides a unique perspective on Judaism.
Identity:
A Guided Meditation: Meditative games aren’t about relaxation; they’re about narrowing our focus.
Archaeology of the Self: Game saves act as archaeological artefacts, defining who we were and the choices we made in the moment.
To Be This Old Takes Ages: Old Sega games transcend their imperfections through creative daring.
Uncanny Bodies: When our high fidelity avatars don’t move as they should, the result is jarring and creepy.
Some Kind of Monster: In Bloodlines, being a monster tells us a great deal about the measure of our humanity.
