Electronic Entertainment:
An Introduction to Modern Video Games

Any single game is likely to take up more of a player's time than any single movie or book, but video games are the least examined, most popular part of culture today.In this single session we will explore the basic history and game-types of modern video games. We will examine the relationships between story and interactivity, the evolution of game aesthetics and their relation to the types of stories being told.
