VIDEO GAME CRITICISM HANDBOOK

Marco Accordi Rickards



 

The "Video Game Criticism Handbook" is the only reference text in Italy for anyone looking to enter the field of video game journalism, thus taking on one of the most delicate and guaranteeing roles in the Games Industry. Now more than ever, video games are experiencing an identity crisis, and amidst narrative and non-narrative works, eSports, serious games, and free-to-play games, they can no longer be categorized in a singular way. Meanwhile, new modes of communication challenge the profession of the critic, who is tasked with examining interactive experiences with increasingly diverse and complex forms.


Based on almost 20 years of research by the author, this manual meets the need to provide a comprehensive exegesis of video games, offering critics new universal tools to interpret all the different expressions of this phenomenon. The book thoroughly addresses all the issues related to the journalistic profession in specialized video game press, from types of articles to target identification, and culminating in the evaluation criteria applied during the review process.
