  • COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen
    COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen Citation Bogost, Ian. Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism. Cambridge, MA: MIT, 2006. Keywords: Mythical and scientific modes of thought (bricoleur vs. engineer), bricolage, cyber texts, ergodic literature, Unit operations. Games: Zork I. Argument & Perspective Ian Bogost’s “unit operations” that he mentions in the title is a method of analyzing and explaining not only video games, but work of any medium where works should be seen “as a configurative system, an arrangement of discrete, interlocking units of expressive meaning.” (Bogost x) Similarly, in this chapter, he more specifically argues that as opposed to seeing video games as hard pieces of technology to be poked and prodded within criticism, they should be seen in a more abstract manner. He states that “instead of focusing on how games work, I suggest that we turn to what they do— how they inform, change, or otherwise participate in human activity…” (Bogost 53) This comparative video game criticism is not about invalidating more concrete observances of video games, such as how they work, but weaving them into a more intuitive discussion that explores the true nature of video games. II. Ideas Unit Operations: Like I mentioned in the first section, this is a different way of approaching mediums such as poetry, literature, or videogames where works are a system of many parts rather than an overarching, singular, structured piece. Engineer vs. Bricoleur metaphor: Bogost uses this metaphor to compare the fundamentalist view of video game critique to his proposed view, saying that the “bricoleur is a skillful handy-man, a jack-of-all-trades who uses convenient implements and ad hoc strategies to achieve his ends.” Whereas the engineer is a “scientific thinker who strives to construct holistic, totalizing systems from the top down…” (Bogost 49) One being more abstract and the other set and defined.

  • This Is the Title
    1 Welcome! If you’re here to learn about some art tools, you’ve come to the right place. While this talk does assume at least a basic understanding of the Unreal Engine, it’s really about the concepts behind these tools, not the exact implementation - So hopefully even non-Unreal users will be able to find some of this stuff helpful. First I’m going to do some quick introductions... 2 Hi. I’m Eric Anderson. I’m the Art Director at Cyan. 3 We are a small game development studio up in Spokane, Washington, and one of the oldest surviving independent studios in the industry. I’ve been with the company on and off for over 15 years. 4 Cyan is best known for the game Myst, which was released in 1993. In Myst, players find themselves trapped on an uninhabited - but visually lush island... ...surrounded by challenging puzzles - and are given little to no instruction on what to do - or where to go next. It was a hit. Myst quickly became the best selling computer game of the 20th century. 5 It was followed up a few years later by Riven. While Riven didn’t quite sell as well as Myst, it was acclaimed for its visual artistry - its rich story - and its immersive world. 6 I joined the company in 2000 to work on Uru… …Our ill-fated foray into Massively Multiplayer Online Games… …which was released in 2003 as a single player game, due to publisher cutbacks. 7 Followed shortly by Myst 5… …which was mostly built from the bones of Uru’s online content… …and sold about as well as one might expect.

    Marmalade, Jute, and Video Games: The story of how Dundee, Scotland became the home of a thriving video game development community John Fu March 1, 2000 History 274B Prof. Thomas Hughes 2 Video Games…In Scotland? Japan and the United States are sometimes thought to be the sole creators of the world’s video games. This belief may stem from the fact that the most famous video game console and arcade game manufacturers (such as Atari, Midway, Namco, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Capcom) are located in Japan and the US. And with few exceptions, the best-known, most heavily merchandized video game characters (for example, Mario of Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog of the game of the same name) are of American or Japanese origin. Over the past decade, however, many best-selling video games have come from Great Britain. English and Scottish developers have been responsible for such hits as Populous, Syndicate, Lemmings, Goldeneye, and Tomb Raider. Lara Croft, the main character in the Tomb Raider series of adventure games, has become a worldwide star, and Tomb Raider is currently set to be made into a motion picture. Nonetheless, with few characters as recognizable as Mario or Sonic and the absence of a major game console manufacturer, it is remarkable that game development has flourished in specific communities within Great Britain, namely Guildford (near London), northwest England (Liverpool/Birkenhead) and Scotland. Guildford is the home of Bullfrog, a development studio that has created numerous hit games such as Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper, and of a number of companies founded by ex-Bullfrog employees.
