    “For when established identities become outworn or unfinished ones threaten to remain incomplete, special crises compel men to wage holy wars, by the cruellest means, against those who seem to question or threaten their unsafe ideological bases.” Erik Erikson (1956), “The Problem of Ego Identity”, p. 114 “In games it’s very difficult to portray complex human relationships. Likewise, in movies you often flit between action in various scenes. That’s very difficult to do in games, as you generally play a single character: if you switch, it breaks immersion. The fact that most games are first-person shooters today makes that clear. Stories in which the player doesn’t inhabit the main character are difficult for games to handle.” Hideo Kojima Simon Parkin (2014), “Hideo Kojima: ‘Metal Gear questions US dominance of the world”, The Guardian iii AGRADECIMENTOS Por começar quero desde já agradecer o constante e imprescindível apoio, compreensão, atenção e orientação dos Professores Jean Rabot e Clara Simães, sem os quais este trabalho não teria a fruição completa e correta.

    [email protected] Technique Entertainment Editor: Daniel Spiller 17 Friday, Assistant Entertainment Editor: September 19, 2008 Entertainment Jennifer Aldoretta LET THERE BE ROCK BAND 2 By Andrew Ho Contributing Writer Th e seemingly fl imsy, plastic guitar controller should be quite familiar to most people these days who are acquainted with the concept of television, and the formula of rocking out on your TV just gets better with Harmonix’s latest, Rock Band 2. For those who may not be familiar with the genre in question, goodness forbid, rhythm games made a particularly big splash in today’s culture with the advent of Guitar Hero just a scant three years ago. Since then, fans and beginners have had more and more songs and ways to bring out their inner rock star, culminating in the Rock Band series, which incorporates a microphone for vocals, a drum set and a bass track in addition to the guitar controller, ending up with one of the best games you could fi nd at a party (unless Twister or Pictionary is your thing). To be fair though, Rock Band 2 doesn’t do much to revolutionize or change the formula its predecessor set, but adds a good bit of polish and functionality, as well as a truckload of new songs to jam to. Th e set list is quite impressive and varies with classics ranging from the 1960’s and 1970’s with Th e Who and Fleetwood Mac, up to the 1990’s and beyond with garage and grunge music from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Beastie Boys.

  • On the Validity of Metacritic in Assessing Game Value Adams Greenwood-Ericksen, Scott R
    Vol. 7, No. 1 (2013) http://www.eludamos.org On the Validity of Metacritic in Assessing Game Value Adams Greenwood-Ericksen, Scott R. Poorman, Roy Papp Eludamos. Journal for Computer Game Culture. 2013; 7 (1), pp. 101-127 On the Validity of Metacritic in Assessing Game Value ADAMS GREENWOOD-ERICKSEN, SCOTT R. POORMAN, AND ROY PAPP In January 2001, the website Metacritic was launched with the goal of providing consumers with the ability to see a collection of game reviews in one location. The goal was admirable. Game reviews have long been scattered across a myriad of print and online media, and a consumer seeking several reviewer perspectives on the same game had to check multiple, unrelated information sources and then make judgments regarding the quality, accuracy, and content of each review in order to formulate an informed opinion on the quality of a product. Further, the scattered nature of such reviews meant that customers were often unable to easily identify which publications might have reviewed a game, making the process of determining which games to purchase an onerous chore. It appears that the founders of Metacritic hoped to change this paradigm by finding, indexing, and summarizing the scores provided by dozens of print and electronic media sources into a single, overall metascore. However, in recent years Metacritic has increasingly come under fire from critics who allege that it has become a harmful influence on the industry and that it fails to appropriately assess the value of individual games (Dodson 2006; Periera 2012; McDonald 2012). Therefore, the goal of the present work is to assess the scientific validity and empirical value of Metacritic as a tool to assess game value to both consumers and the industry.
