  • Rockstar Games Brings the Grand Theft Autotrilogy to the Mac
    Rockstar Games Brings the Grand Theft AutoTrilogy to the Mac November 12, 2010 Trilogy includes Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas TORONTO, Ontario & NEW YORK, Nov 12, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and TransGaming, Inc. (TSX-V: TNG) today announced that the critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto Trilogy is now available for the Macintosh. The Grand Theft Auto Trilogy revisits the classic entries of the series and includes Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The Grand Theft Auto Trilogy is available via TransGaming's GameTreeMac.com Mac gaming portal for 30 days starting today and at retailers across Europe. It will be available at retail in North America starting November 22. Grand Theft Auto III introduced a 3-dimensional Liberty City and a completely open and interactive world, filled with hidden challenges and innovative 3D gameplay. The immense map offered players a scope and depth never before seen in games. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City took a trip back in time and revisited the 1980s, complete with the era's unique fashion and classic pop music. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City follows Tommy Vercetti, as he attempts to navigate the city's tropical environment rife with gangsters and other seedy citizens. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas introduced San Andreas, the largest map of the series, which boasts three enormous cities. The narrative explores the life of Carl Johnson as he returns home to San Andreas after learning of the mysterious events surrounding a death in the family.

  • Appel (In Press) Social Media, Gaming, and Computer Literacy
    Computer literacy 1 Running Head: Computer literacy Are heavy users of computer games and social media more computer literate? Markus Appel Johannes Kepler- University of Linz, Austria Accepted for publication in the journal Computers & Education Corresponding author: Markus Appel, Dr. phil., Associate Professor Department of Education and Psychology Johannes Kepler University of Linz Altenberger Strasse 69, 4040 Linz, Austria Email: [email protected] Phone: ++43-732-24688632, Fax: ++43-732-24689315 The author would like to thank Sandra Manzenreiter for her outstanding help in conducting the study. Computer literacy 2 Abstract Adolescents spend a substantial part of their leisure time with playing games and using social media such as Facebook. The present paper examines the link between adolescents’ computer and Internet activities and computer literacy (defined as the ability to work with a computer efficiently). A cross-sectional study with N = 200 adolescents, aged 17 on average, was conducted. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that an increase in time spent playing games on a PC/MAC was related to higher scores on practical and theoretical computer knowledge. Moreover, practical computer knowledge was higher for adolescents who liked playing shooters, fantasy games, or Facebook-games. Frequency of social media use was associated with higher scores in practical computer knowledge. A bootstrap analysis indicated that this relationship was mediated by a decrease in computer anxiety, not by more positive attitudes towards the computer. Gender yielded substantial main effects on the media literacy variables but the associations between the computer and Internet activities and the literacy aspects were similar for boys and girls.
