Hi all,
I was just at a very interesting workshop on games in Bristol called Power Up, Games, Ideology and Play. If interested there is more info on their website. Power-Up
There are a number of game conferences coming up in the next few months. Good if you want to get an overview as to what academics are getting up to.
1. Digital Games Industries: Developments, Impact and Direction – Manchester, 19-20th September. See here
2. Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) Inaugural conference in Utrecht, The Netherlands, 4-6th November.
