Big Games
This section summarizes some of the online sites and information I collected whilst working on my paper ‘City, Games & Media‘ in May, 2007. In no particular order:
- wikipedia entry on “Location-based games“
- Frank Lantz interview on Gamasutra, August 10, 2006.
- Howard Rheingold: smartmobs.com
- Pervasive Gaming: Formats, Rules and Space — Bo Kampmann Walther, University of Southern Denmark
- Come Out & Play Festival, 2006 [NYC] & 2007 [AMS]
- Jenkins’ unavoidable text on the matter called ‘Big Games with Big Goals‘ (April 4, 2007)
- Jane McGonigal (2003) “‘This Is Not a Game’:Immersive Aesthetics and Collective Play” [pdf alert; less relevant, but also unavoidable *sigh*]
- Lian Chang & Michael Sharon’s ‘Big Urban Games Syllabus.’
- Multi-media reference on Big Games by MIT’s ‘New Media Literacies Media Producer Profile Series.’ [Bogost, McGonigal, Romeo]
- Offline, but 33% relevant: Sotamaa, Olli (2002) “All the World’s a Botfighter Stage: Notes on Location-based Multi-User Gaming,” in Computer Games and Digital Cultures Conference Proceedings, June 6-8, 2002, Tampere, Finland. Tampere University Press, pg 35-44.
