Brown (English, DePauw U.) situates the video game within the broad perspective of the humanities. Broadly interested in the interrelations between the major trends in game design, the public
controversies surrounding the video game, and the predominant critical positions in game studies, he explains the different contemporary perspectives on video games in terms of the impact of
video games on literature and the visual arts; the politics, ethics, and myths of video games; and the role of video games in teaching history, community, and art. Annotation 穢2008 Book News,
