Barry Atkins - More than a Game: The Computer Game as Fictional Form




Press | September 6, 2003 | ISBN-10: 0719063647 | 176 pages | File type: PDF | 1.02 mb

Taking its cue from practices of reading texts in literary and cultural studies, this book considers the computer game as a new and emerging mode of contemporary storytelling. In a carefully organized study, Barry Atkins discusses questions of narrative and realism in four of the most significant games of the last decade: Tomb Raider, Half-Life, Close Combat and SimCity. This is a work for both the student of contemporary culture and those game-players who are interested in how computer games tell their stories.
