Close readings of specific games--including Grand Theft Auto: IV, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Dragon Age: Origins--consider how each locates elements of control in their structures. As video games increasingly become a major force in the media landscape, this important contribution to the field of game studies provides a valuable framework for understanding games and their growing impact on society.]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
