Offenbar materialisiert sich strategisches Denken und Handeln bevorzugt in der Form des Spiels. Nicht allein im Schachspiel oder im klassischen Kriegsspiel finden sich enge Verbindungen von Spiel und Strategie, sondern auch in Trainingsprogrammen für Manager, in Stadt- und Geschichtssimulationen oder in aktuellen Computerpro- grammen, die im Bereich der Terrorismusbekämpfung zum Einsatz kommen. Damit ist das Strategiespiel mehr als nur ein Spiel, es ist längst ein Bestandteil gesellschaftlicher Steuerungstechniken.

  • About Matrix Games
    WWW.MATRIXGAMES.COM • WWW.MATRIXGAMES.COM • WWW.MATRIXGAMES.COM • WWW.MATRIXGAMES.COM • WWW.MATRIXGAMES.COM ABOUT MATRIX GAMES Matrix Games has been in business since 2000, and each year we grow as a company and as gamers. In 2010 Matrix Games and Slitherine merged to create a wargaming giant. With a range of well over 100 titles and offices in the US, UK, Italy, Canada and France the company has moved to a new level. Slitherine has a similar focus but also brought with it a range of tabletop wargames rules called Field of Glory as well as games like Panzer Corps and a multiplatform approach. While we continue to deliver classic wargames for your PC and Mac, in 2011 we released our first full wargame for iOS – Battle Academy, it was a huge success and is still is a best seller on iTunes. In 2012 we acquired AGEOD, adding more games and developers to our lineup. We have released strategy games of all kinds, based on popular licenses, such as the Warhammer 40,000 Armageddon setting and big names, such as Buzz Aldrin for Space Program Manager, HISTORY TV channel and much more. In 2014 we acquired Shenandoah Studio, a leader in the development of cutting edge strategy games for iPad. Matrix Games now leads the computer wargame sector in innovation, customer satisfaction, and media recognition. We pioneered the idea of moving titles into an online format so we could reduce costs to our customers and provide them an interactive environment to chat with their peers – and all this long before Steam! Our growth has come from working with some of the best developers in strategy gaming, from established wargame developers like SSG, 2by3 Games, and Panther Games, to new innovators like The Lordz Games Studios, Flashback Studios and VR Designs.

  • Die Natürlichkeit Des Spielens. Vom Verschwinden Des Gemachten Im
    Machen uns Computerspiele zu Amokläufern? Machen sie uns schlauer? Sind sie konfigurative, dissidente oder neoliberale Handlungsanleitungen? Auf alle Fälle ›wirken‹ Computerspiele. Sie sind ›sublime Objekte‹, deren Besonderheit in ihrem spezifischen Gebrauchsangebot begründet liegt. Die Annahme dieses Buches ist es, dass Computerspiele weitaus ver- des Spielens Die Natürlichkeit borgener, unterschwelliger und weitgreifender wirken als es populäre De- batten behaupten. Computerspiele sind Ideologie- und Diskursmaschinen, die Bedeutungen, Wissensformationen und Normen in einer Gesellschaft Rolf F. Nohr gleichzeitig umwälzen wie auch stabilisieren. Die Frage, die in diesem Buch im Vordergrund steht, ist, wie das digitale Spiel als Teil des Mediums Die Natürlichkeit des Spielens Computer und als Teil der Gesellschaft beschrieben werden kann, aber auch, wie es seine kulturelle ›Gemachtheit‹ verschleiert und ›unmittelbar‹ Vom Verschwinden des Gemachten wird. im Computerspiel Rolf F.

  • Science Fiction Video Games Focuses on Games That Are Part of the Science Fiction Genre, Rather Than Set in Magical Milieux Or Exaggerated Versions of Our Own World
    SCIENCE FICTION Science Fiction Video Games focuses on games that are part of the science fiction genre, rather than set in magical milieux or exaggerated versions of our own world. Unlike many existing books and websites that cover some of the same material, this video games book emphasizes critical analysis, especially the analysis of narrative. The author analyzes narrative via an original categorization of story forms in games. He also discusses video games as works of science fiction, including their characteristic themes and the links between them and other forms of science fiction. Neal Tringham The beginning chapters explore game design and the history of science-fictional video games. The majority of the text deals with individual science-fictional games and the histories and natures of their various forms, such as the puzzle-based adventure and the more exploratory and immediate computer role-playing game (RPG).
