The Middle Ages in Computer Games
Offers the most comprehensive analysis and discussion of medievalist computer games to date. Games with a medieval setting are commercially lucrative and reach a truly massive audience. Moreover, they can engage their players in a manner that is not only different, but in certain aspects, more profound than traditional literary or cinematic forms of medievalism.

This book explores the distinct nature of...

Science Fiction Video Games
Understand Video Games as Works of Science Fiction and Interactive Stories 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.

Delve into a Collection of Science Fiction Games The beginning chapters explore game design and the history of science-fictional video games.

Examining the Evolution of Gaming and Its Impact on Social, Cultural, and Political Perspectives
With complex stories and stunning visuals eliciting intense emotional responses, coupled with opportunities for self-expression and problem solving, video games are a powerful medium to foster empathy, critical thinking, and creativity in players. As these games grow in popularity, ambition, and technological prowess, they become a legitimate art form, shedding old attitudes and misconceptions along the way. Examining the Evolution of Gaming and Its Impact on Social, Cultural, and Political Perspectives asks whether videogames have the power to transform a player and his or her beliefs from a sociopolitical perspective. Unlike traditional forms of storytelling, videogames allow users to immerse themselves in new worlds, situations, and politics. This publication surveys the landscape of videogames and analyzes the emergent gaming that shifts the definition and cultural effects of videogames. This book is a valuable resource to game designers and developers, sociologists, students of gaming, and researchers in relevant fields.
Ignite Your Spirit
Through humour and clearly explained concepts, Ignite Your Spirit explains what it means to be spiritual. It introduces the idea that to be truly happy and healthy, we need to look at ourselves multi-dimensionally. That simply means that we are much more than just our physical body: a combination of cells held together. We are also made up of our Mind, Energy, Soul and the divine spark (however you define the 'divine'). Author and popular teacher and speaker, Shakti Durga, shows us how problems, blockages and imbalances in any one of those 'dimensions' can cause many of the problems we experience in life. This book will help you to gain a deeper understanding of how and why it's important to maintain 'energetic' health and how this can often be the key to unlocking your spirit and feeling great. The book provides tools, exercises and strategies to help the reader to 'ignite' their spirit and feel great!
