After you read these two articles, post responses to them on your blog. Below are prompts
to help you think about the articles.
- Grodal argues that games would be better understood as simulations of real-life
activities, rather than as narrated events. What do you think of his argument? Do
you find this to be a better way to approach and understand the gaming experience?
- Do the tactile senses involved in playing games really anchor us to the games, as Lahti suggests? How does gaming on a console differ from PC gaming? From arcade gaming? What about mobile gaming or games with other control structures?
Post your responses on your blog, as usual.
