Immersive Gameplay: Essays on Participatory Media and Role-Playing

Examining the premises and aesthetics of live-action and tabletop role-playing games, reality television, social media apps and first-person shooters, the essays take both game rules and the media discourse that games produce as serious objects of study.

Scholars of social psychology, sociology, role-playing theory, game studies, and television studies all examine games and game-like environments like reality shows as interdependent sites of social friction and power negotiation. The ten essays articulate the importance of game rules in analyses of media products, and demonstrate methods that allow game rules to be seen in action during the process of play.

Like any collection of essays some items had me entranced and others had me bored and uninterested. Some authors had very inspired and interesting theories and others made wild assumptions and called it science, and others said very little at all other than to spend an entire article recounting someone else's experiment and applying their hypothesis to it. The collaboration as a whole could be better. I'm not even really sure who the intended audience is. My computer's spellcheck doesn't.

It's quite a niche market, and if BOTH of these don't apply to you it's possible you'll find it as boring as I did at times. As a gamer I was interested in what they had to say but as a non-scholar popular science lover I found their writing tedious and sleep-inducing.
