  • The History of Video Game Music from a Production Perspective
    Digital Worlds: The History of Video Game Music From a Production Perspective by Griffin Tyler A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Bachelor in Arts Music The Colorado College April, 2021 Approved by ___________________________ Date __May 3, 2021_______ Prof. Ryan Banagale Approved by ___________________________ Date ___________________May 4, 2021 Prof. Iddo Aharony 1 Introduction In the modern era of technology and connectivity, one of the most interactive forms of personal entertainment is video games. While video games are arguably at the height of popularity amid the social restrictions of the current Covid-19 pandemic, this popularity did not pop up overnight. For the past four decades video games have been steadily rising in accessibility and usage, growing from a novelty arcade activity of the late 1970s and early 1980s to the globally shared entertainment experience of today. A remarkable study from 2014 by the Entertainment Software Association found that around 58% of Americans actively participate in some form of video game use, the average player is 30 years old and has been playing games for over 13 years. (Sweet, 2015) The reason for this popularity is no mystery, the gaming medium offers storytelling on an interactive level not possible in other forms of media, new friends to make with the addition of online social features, and new worlds to explore when one wishes to temporarily escape from the monotony of daily life. One important aspect of video game appeal and development is music. A good soundtrack can often be the difference between a successful game and one that falls into obscurity.

  • DLC: Perpetual Commodification of the Video Game
    Democratic Communiqué 25, No. 1, Spring 2012 DLC: Perpetual Commodification of the Video Game Ryan Lizardi The United States video game industry has become a multi-billion dollar-a-year business, due in large part to the explosion of downloadable content (DLC). Video game DLC includes handheld gaming and additional content not found on software discs. The DLC trend is examined for its increasing exploitation of video game con- sumers through a perpetual form of commodification. This article will show that video game DLC is a cyclical form of commodification, though not simply imma- nent or intertextual. Meaning that players are not paying for a commodity that springs from a previous product, but continually coming back and paying for the same product over and over again. DLC multiplayer maps in the first-person shooter, additional music tracks in rhythm games, and MMORPG microtransac- tions are explored for the ways they exist to fill the monetary gap between game software releases, but end up simultaneously exploiting consumers and their free/ immaterial labor. Introduction popular sentiment passed around about the Great Depression in the US is that the film industry not only survived where other industries had failed, but flour- ished in the face of incredible adversity. The film industry was seen as an inde- A structible source of escape for those going through hard times. In the recent bout of economic turmoil, sometimes called the Great Recession (Wessel 2010), it is not as if the film industry is floundering, but another medium has taken up the mantle of a "turmoil -proof" cultural force.

  • DIGITAL SPORTS GAMES and THEIR PLAYERS – Playing Motivations and Player’S Assessment of the Effects of Playing
    Kati Ahonen DIGITAL SPORTS GAMES AND THEIR PLAYERS – Playing motivations and player’s assessment of the effects of playing UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ DEPARTMENT OF ART & CULTURE STUDIES DIGITAL CULTURE MASTER’S THESIS DECEMBER 2012 1 JYVÄSKYLÄN YLIOPISTO Faculty Department Faculty of Humanities Department of Art and Culture Studies Author Kati Ahonen Title Digital Sports Games and Their Players; Playing Motivations and Player’s Assessment of the Effects of Playing Subject Level Digital Culture Master’s Thesis Month and year Number of pages December 2012 109 (+ 6 p appendices) Abstract The purpose of this research was to determine people’s motivation and their reasons for playing digital sports games. In addition to this, the aim was to investigate the consequences of playing the games for these people. It was particularly important to analyze players' personal experiences as well as the effects of playing on the body and on everyday life. The corpus of this qualitative research consists of questionnaire responses from eight people. Structured questionnaires were analyzed and four different digital game player profiles were created on the basis of this analysis. Results show that the respondents' physical background was very fragmented; some respondents were active in sports, some of them had been rarely physically active before exergaming. It turned out that digital sports game playing increased most of the respondents’ weekly exercise times, the amount of overall physical activity as well as the intensity of the exercise. Digital sports game playing was also a factor when starting a lifestyle renovation, as well as a smaller scale dietary change. However, mainly the respondents’ view was that digital sports game playing cannot replace the daily physical exercise but playing is a good supplement to it.

  • Video Games in Music Education: the Impact of Video Games on Rhythmic Performance
    ISSN: 1968-2065 Video Games in Music Education: The Impact of Video Games on Rhythmic Performance By Kevin R. Keeler, Jr. University of Central Arkansas ABstract Little research exists on the use of video games as instructional tools in music education. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of two different video games on rhythm performance and to determine whether the level of flow achieved during the games had an impact on the results. Collegiate music students (N = 8) participated in an experiment comparing the effects of a traditional video game and a virtual reality video game. While I did not find any statistically significant changes, results imply some practical significance. While educators may wish to implement video games as tools to help improve student rhythm performance, further research should be conducted for more conclusive results.

Sykes, CASLS, University of Oregon Games and play dynamics are proliferating in social, professional, and educational domains. This special issue brings together a collection of articles examining game and play activity in second language teaching and learning. Each addresses the topic from a unique perspective and represents game and play as part of complex ecologies of practice. The approaches include observation of out-of-school L2 gaming practices, adaptation of commercial, off-the-shelf games in the classroom, application of a game-based L2 learning environment, and the study of ‘gameful’ learning through play in social networks.

Sykes INTRODUCTION Games and play dynamics are being increasingly applied in social, professional, and educational domains. The globalization of the digital gaming industry, the diversification of games into new and culturally hybrid genres, a global increase in access to broadband, and increasing numbers of non-traditional game players have precipitated a notable expansion of digital game and play activity into new contexts and applications. These developments warrant consideration by practitioners and researchers for the potentials that digital games and play activity have for technology-enhanced L2TL.

  • The Influence of Strategy Video Game and Its Background Music On
    Mental Health and Addiction Research Research Article The influence of strategy video game and its background music on cognitive control Xiaoqing Fu1, and Jiulin Zhang*2 1University for Science and Technology of Sichuan, Chengdu, China 2Southwest University, Chongqing, China Abstract It has been acutely argued for decades about the exact influences of video games on players. The researchers are also unable to come to an agreement on the effects of video games on cognitive control. Some researchers found that the video games were harmful to sustained attention, working memory and cognitive flexibility. While some other researchers claimed that video game experience has a beneficial effect on visuospatial cognition, executive control functions and cognitive improvement. In order to find out the hidden factors that cause the inconsistent results in this field, present research made a strict control on the game genre, measure of cognitive control and players’ subjective immersion in video games, with the hope to investigate the influence of video games on cognitive control in a more subtle way. Forty five participants were randomly assigned into three groups in this research. One of them was control group; they were required to use the internet to search for information related to certain subject. Another was no-music game group; they were required to play a strategy game (Red star 2) without the earphone. The last was music game group; they played the same game but with earphone to enjoy the background music. All the conditions lasted for 20min. Before the formal experiment, all participants should finish an N-back task and the performances were used as covariable in final analyses.

This article is an open access publication Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the efects of exergaming on the cardiovascular risk factors and adipokine levels of women engaged in the music video game Just Dance using the Xbox 360 Kinect console. Triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, FFA, CRP, TNF-α, Il-1β, IL-6, leptin, and resistin were measured in sedentary women before and 1 month after the practice of exergaming. We also evaluated anthropometric parameters. Our results indicate that total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL were reduced by 64, 29, and 12%, respectively. HDL levels were not altered in the conditions of this study. A signifcant decrease was also found in the concentrations of TNF-α (57%), CRP (84.7%), resistin (68.4%), leptin (35%), FFA (90%), body mass index (10.5%), fat percentage (10.9%), weight (5.6%), abdominal circumference (2.3%), hip circumference (2.5%), and waist circumference (1.9%) after the training period. We concluded that exergaming was successful in reducing body fat, serum adipokine levels, and lipid profles, thus reducing cardiovascular risks for women.
